Song lyrics

I still remember the piano
Playing the same old melodies,
The late-night crowd
Was wild and loud,
But then a shoot 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 you 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'd 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 Laredo,
They want you out of here by noon,
Oh, I can tell
I'm in a spell,
So here we go to Amarillo!

[4x:]
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'd shake my life like a tornado!
