Bandito Gold 
Recorded by Red Steagall
Written by Danny Steagall and Red Steagall

C            G7              C
Mid July the year that I was ten
     F                               C
That summer dust blowed red in Texas skies
        F                                  C          Am
Day and night the hot wind blowed but what I remember most
        F            G7                C
Was the look I can’t forget in daddy’s eyes

                            G7               C
He said the yellow colt our first one that I know
      F                                  C
After two long years we both watched him grow
        F                          C                   Am
But the pastures all have died and McLennan Creek runs dry
F               G7           C
Son I’ve got to sell Bandito Gold

        F
Bandito Gold think of all the mighty rivers we have crossed
                              C
And all the mountains we have climbed 
        F
Bandito Gold think of all the outlaw bands 
           D7                            G7
That we’ve captured single handed in our minds

C                   G7                C
Thank the Lord that spring we got the rain
     F                                  C
With thunder storms and buckets full it came
         F                           C                  Am
Then the prairie flowers bloomed and McLennan Creek ran full
        F                  G7              C
And the pastures turn to a brilliant Kelly green 

                         G7             C
And the first of May our old mare Dixie foaled
     F                               C
Four white socks and a pretty yellow colt
     F                               C                  Am
With pride we watched him grow until now he’s ten years old
    F            G7               C
But he never has replaced Bandito Gold

Repeat #3

                        G7                C
It’s my turn to ride my horse is in chute five
    F                                          C
And I’ve checked the rein and pulled my saddle tight
    F                   C          Am
Way out in Idaho at the Twin Falls Rodeo
     F                G7            C
I’ve drawn the outlaw horse Bandito Gold

Repeat #3 x2
