Marty Robbins - Song Of The Bandit lyrics

rate me

Long, long ago in old Wyoming lived a maid<br />

Fair as the sweetest flower bloomin' in the shade<br />

She loved a bandit bold who roamed the prairie o'er<br />

And every night she'd listen for his call.<br />

<br />

Then far the west his voice came ringing<br />

Ridin' wild horse he came singing<br />

Hee li oli yip ioli ay<br />

Hee li oli yip ioli yip ay oli ya he brings a token of his love<br />

Swift as the wind he goes for high as the hills he knows she's waiting<br />

For his hee li oli yip ioli ay.<br />

<br />

One day he rode away but never to return<br />

Danger was waitin' now his love must never yearn<br />

Long days and lonely nights she waited all in vain<br />

Till winter passed and summer came again.<br />

<br />

Still every night when the moon came shining<br />

For his song her heart was pining<br />

Hee li oli yip ioli ay<br />

Hee li oli yip ioli yip ay oli ya he brings a token of his love<br />

Swift as the wind he goes for high as the hills he knows she's waiting<br />

For his hee li oli yip ioli ay.<br />

<br />

One night an angel brought a message from her love<br />

Told her he waited in the starry sky above<br />

Softly she closed her eyes and bade the angel go<br />

And then the whole world echoed to his song.<br />

<br />

For straight down a moonbeam he came ridin' out of the sky on a winged horse glidin' Hee li oli yip ioli ay<br />

Hee li oli yip ioliay<br />

Hee li oli yip ioli yip ay oli ya he brings a token of his love<br />

Swift as the wind he goes for high as the hills he knows she's waiting<br />

For his hee li oli yip ioli ay.<br />

<br />

Hee li oli yip ioli ay hee li oli yip ioli ay<br />

Singin' hee li oli yip ioli ay<br />

Hee li oli yip ioli yip ay oli ya he brings a token of his love<br />

Swift as the wind he goes for high as the hills he knows she's waiting<br />

For his hee li oli yip ioli ay...
