Hang down your head, Bandulu
Hang down your head and cry (Yeah)
Hang down your head, rude boy

And take that woman's money
And kill that poor policeman
'Cause he was only doing his duty

[Chorus]
So hang down your head, Bandulu
I say to hang down your head and cry (Yeah)
Hang down your head, rude boy
Oh boy, you're bound to die

This time tomorrow you'll be in a different world
Hanging from the Spanish town gallows
Behind that cold prison wall
You better get yourself right with God
And ask him for mercy on your soul, rude boy

[Chorus]
Hang down your head, Bandulu
You got to hang down your head and cry (Yeah)
Hang down your head, rude boy
Oh boy, you're bound to die
So let this bе a lesson
To one and all, rude boy

Listеn to your parents
An' try to do the right
Don't follow bad company
'Cause you will end up like Bandulu, rude boy
Yeah, rude boy (Woah-oh-oh)

[Bridge]
Remember what the parrot said to the crow
"Don't follow bad company or you will end up like Bandulu"
Bad company will lead you astray

[Verse 4]
This time tomorrow you'll be in a different world
Hanging from the Spanish town gallows
Behind that cold prison wall
You better get yourself right with God
And ask him for mercy on your soul, rude boy

Hang down your head and cry (Yeah)
You better hang down your head, rude boy
Oh boy, you're bound to die
