colin meloy – the bandit queen lyrics
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, lain 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 on a mountain, by a starry water fountain
in an alcove hid by some trees
amidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure,
my ladylove sniffs at 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 at station
odds are it will never reach its destination.
’cause the bandit queen, astride her steed will ride
o let me be the on to lay within your theivin’ arms
tonight.
she’s my bandit queen, lain 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.
