El bandito

I’m just a simple bandito
a gringo from old mexico
never worked for my money
never learned
and never went to school
I’m just a simple bandito
a gringo from old mexico
had to steal for my money
had to lie to my honey
That’s why they call me
al bandito

I grew up in the ghetto
on the border of mexico
my parents had left me behind
on the day that I was born
had barely clothes,
had barely money,
so I had no choice
to survive, in this life
I only could do one thing

I met a girl, on the road
on my way down to san antone
she was the hottest
thing in the world
that I’d ever seen
we had fun, lots off laugters
and we travelled a lot
to fulfill all our needs,
I only could do one thing
