The Bandit Queen Lyrics - Singles - Decemberists

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 in 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 the 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 thievin' arms tonight.

If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea
