The Shadows – The Bandit lyrics

(Instrumental)
Chorus
Ole, I am a bandit, the Bandit of Brazil
1. 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.
Chorus
Ole, I am a bandit, the Bandit of Brazil.
2. 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 ‘neath the blue Brazilian sky.
Adios to you, Amigo, Adios to you, my friend.......
Ole, O Cangachero, the Bandit of Brazil
(Instrumental)
Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, (Fade Out)
