El Diablo Lyrics

    Did you ever hear the story
    That happened not long ago
    'bout the man with a tan:
    El diablo de Mexico?
    And this man played his hand
    And he lived by the luck of the draw;
    Now and then and again,
    Found him steppin' outside of the law
    Hey, hey!

    And his fortune he had made
    let him live high on the hog
    Til the day of the raid
    When they hunted him like a dog.
    He was out on the run,
    Knowing he could get by,
    'Cause the men killed in sin
    were not there to testify.
    Hey, hey!

    He was caught, he was bound
    In La Casa de Calaboose.
    He was tried; he was found
    And readied for the noose.
    But the break he would make,
    It didn't turn out so well.
    And the hombre called "Diablo"
    Bid his last farewell.
