The Devil sent you to Lorado I still remember the piano Playing the same old melodies The late-night crowd was wild and loud But then a shot outside the barroom And then I saw you for the first time The way you stepped out of the dark Up to the bar say "Here we are Whiskey for me for you Tequila" The devil sent you to Lorado Because he knew that I was there man with such face in such lonesome place can only be a Desperado The devil sent you to Lorado Because he knew that I was there and when I heard you’d stay I felt right away you 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 I’m in a spell so here we go to Amarillo The devil sent you to Lorado Because he knew that I was there man with such face in such lonesome place can only be a Desperado The devil sent you to Lorado Because he knew that I was there and when I heard you’d stay I felt right away you shake my life like a tornado
