We are four Piedmontese We are all bandits When the moon rides the mountains We are ready to ride, too. At our first robbery We took a cart And within there was a lady And we stole her money Then we went to the tavern And ordered a bottle But there was a spy in there And he went to call the guards As soon as the guard got there From the Lombardy regiment He tied us four together And brought us to Cremona He brought us to Cremona Among the Cremonese But we four, we are Piedmontese So we were sentenced to twenty years
