[Verse] Did you ever hear the story That happened not long ago About 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 stepping 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 Because the men k**ed 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
