The Bandit (The Shadows)

(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)
