Song of the Bandit   (Hi Hat 5071 )   Ernie Kinney

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - ENDING



*Circle left
Long, long ago in old Wyoming lived a maid
Fair as the sweetest flower bloomin' in the glade

Walk around that corner girl and see saw your own
Left allemande, weave the ring
**Then far to the west his voice comes ringing
Ridin' a wild horse he come singing

Dosado and then you promenade
He Le O Le Yip I O Le Yip I O Le A
He brings a token to his love


FIGURE (Twice for heads, twice for sides)



1 & 3 you promenade, go halfway round the ring
Down the middle with a right & left thru & turn the girls I sing
Square thru in the middle of the pen and get 4 hands and then
Dosado now with that corner girl, touch 1/4
Boys run to the right and then, do a u-turn back and the corner swing
Left allemande and you promenade, singing
He Le O Le Yip I O Le Yip I O Le A
He brings a token to his love


*One day he rode away, but never to return
Danger was waiting, now his love must ever yearn


**Then every night when the moon comes shining
For his song her heart was pining


*One night an angel brought a message from her love
Told her he waited in the starlit sky above


**For straight down a moonbeam he comes riding
Out of the sky on a winged horse gliding
