Bandulu

Yeah, don't follow bad company (No)

Hang down your head, bandulu
Hang down your head and cry (Yeah)
Hang down your head, rude boy
Oh boy, you bound to die

You shouldn't have followed bad company
And take that woman's money
And kill that poor policeman
'Cause he was only doing his duty

So hang down your head, bandulu
I said to hang down your head and cry (Yeah)
Hang down your head, rude boy
Oh boy, you 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)

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

So let this be a lesson to one and all (Rude boy)
Listen to your parents and try to do the right
Don't follow bad company
Or you will end up like bandulu (Rude boy)
Yeah, rude boy (Oh-oh-oh)

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

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 (Rude boy)

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

Don't follow, don't follow
Don't follow bad company (Yeah)
Don't follow bad company (No)
Hang down your head, bandulu
Hang down your head and cry (Yeah)
