The Bandit by The Shadows (Band) Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1962

Ole, I am a bandit, the Bandit of Brazil

I'm the quickest on the trigger, when I shoot I shoot to kill
I'm a hero down in Rio, where they talk about me still

Once I robbed a big ranchero, who was rich beyond compare
And to ransom held his daughter, she was young and she was fair

Ole, I am a bandit, the Bandit of Brazil

She was sweet and she was tender, there was love light in her eyes
In my arms she soon surrendered, very much to my surprise

I refused her father's ransom, and I kept the greater prize
Now at night we ride together beneath the blue Brazilian sky

Adios to you, Amigo, Adios to you, my friend...

Ole, O Cangachero, the Bandit of Brazil

Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole
