The Devil send you to Laredo

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 send you to Lorado

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 send you to Lorado

Because he knew that I was there

And when I heard you'd stay

I felt right away

Youd shake 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 Lorado

They want you out of here by noon

Oh, I can tell

Im in a spell

So here we go to Amarillo.
