Bandit Queen
Lyricist:Colin Meloy
As the sun is sinking low And the evening's tucked in tow On the horizon, my true love I see She ain't fancy, she ain't fine While her fingers number only nine She's the belle of the ball of the insurgency
She's my Bandit Queen, laying beneath the moon In a bandit cave, a blanket laid for two If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea O Bandit Queen, steal away to me
Somewhere in a mountain, by a starry water fountain In an alcove hid by some trees Amidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com My ladylove sniffs as the breeze
And sitting up, she adjusts her turban And takes another swig from a bottle of bourbon And listening to the whistling of a train in station Odds are it will never reach its destination
'Cause the Bandit Queen, astride her steed will ride O let me be the one to lay within your theivin' arms tonight
She's my Bandit Queen, laying beneath the moon In a bandit cave, there's a blanket laid for two If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea O Bandit Queen, steal away to me O Bandit Queen, steal away to me
