Song of the Bandit
Long, long ago in old Wyomin' lived a maid
Fair as the sweetest flower, bloomin' in the shade
She loved a bandit bold who roamed the prairie o'er
And every night, she listened for his call
And far to the west, his voice came ringin'
Ridin' on a wild horse, he came singin'
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He brings a token of his love
Swift as the wind, he goes
High in the hills, he knows she's waitin'
For his He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
One day, he rode away but never to return
Danger was waiting, now his love must never yearn
Long days and lonely nights, she waited all in vain
'Til Winter passed and Summer came again
Still every night, when the moon came shinin'
For his song, her heart was pinin'
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He brings a token of his love
Swift as the wind, he goes
High in the hills, he knows she's waitin'
For his He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
One night, an angel brought a message for her love
Told her he waited in the starry sky above
Softly, she closed her eyes and bay the angel go
And then the whole world echoed to his song
For straight down a moon beam, he came ridin'
Down in the sky, on a winged horse, glidin'
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He brings a token of his love
Swift as a wind, he goes
High in the hills, he knows she's waitin'
For his He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
Fair as the sweetest flower, bloomin' in the shade
She loved a bandit bold who roamed the prairie o'er
And every night, she listened for his call
And far to the west, his voice came ringin'
Ridin' on a wild horse, he came singin'
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He brings a token of his love
Swift as the wind, he goes
High in the hills, he knows she's waitin'
For his He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
One day, he rode away but never to return
Danger was waiting, now his love must never yearn
Long days and lonely nights, she waited all in vain
'Til Winter passed and Summer came again
Still every night, when the moon came shinin'
For his song, her heart was pinin'
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He brings a token of his love
Swift as the wind, he goes
High in the hills, he knows she's waitin'
For his He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
One night, an angel brought a message for her love
Told her he waited in the starry sky above
Softly, she closed her eyes and bay the angel go
And then the whole world echoed to his song
For straight down a moon beam, he came ridin'
Down in the sky, on a winged horse, glidin'
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He brings a token of his love
Swift as a wind, he goes
High in the hills, he knows she's waitin'
For his He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
He-Lee-O, Yip-I-Oh-Lee-Aye
