(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)
