The Devil Sent You to Laredo lyrics

I still remember the piano

Playing the same old melodies

The late-night crowd

Was wild and loud

But then a shot

Outside the bar-room.

And then I saw you for the first time

The way you stepped out of the dark

Up to the bar

Said: Here we are

Whiskey for me, for you Tequila

The devil sent you to Laredo

Because he knew that I was there

A man with such a face

In such a lonesome place

Can only be a desperado

The devil sent you to Laredo

Because he knew that I was there

And when I heard you'd stay

I felt right away

You shaked my life

Like a tornado

I still remember the piano

Playing a different melody

You won at cards

You won at darts

Left all the men without a dollar

And now you gotta leave Laredo

They want you out of here by noon

Oh, I can tell I'm in a spell

So here we go to Amarillo.

The devil sent you to Laredo

Because he knew that I was there

A man with such a face

In such a lonesome place

Can only be a desperado

The devil sent you to Laredo

Because he knew that I was there

And when I heard you'd stay

I felt right away

You shaked my life

Like a tornado
