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.
