Artist/Band: ZZ Top
Lyrics for Song: El Diablo
Lyrics for Album: Tejas [1976]



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.
