O Cangaceiro - The Bandit of Brazil

A few people asked me for the words to this song (notably Andy), so this is the easiest way of providing them. The song is based on a Brazilian folk-song called Mulher Rendeira, and refers to the bandit called Lampião who was active in the North-east province of Pernambuco in Brazil, and who reputedly sang this folk-song. It was the soundtrack of a film made in 1953, but I wrote some new words.
