Spoken :
This is the
story of El Lute
a man who was born to be hunted like a wild animal
because he was poor, but he refused to accept his
fate
And today his honour has been restored
Intro:

1.
He was only nineteen and was sentenced to die
for something that somebody else did, and blamed on El
Lute
Then they changed it to life, and so he could escape
From then on they chased him, and
searched for him day and night
all over Spain
But the search was in
vain for El
Lute
Chorus:
He had only seen the
dark side of life, the man they called El
Lute
And he wanted a
home just like you and like me in a country where
all would be free
So he taught himself to
read and to write, it didn’t help El
Lute
He was one who had
dared to escape overnight
They had to
find El
Lute

Soon the fame of
his name, spread like wild fire all over the
land
with a price on his head people still gave him bread and they
gave him a hand
For they
knew he was right, and his
fight was their fight
2. No one
gave you a chance in the Spain of those days
On the walls every place they had put up the face of El
Lute
And he robbed where he could just like once Robin Hood
They finally
caught him and that seemed the end but they
caught him in vain
‘cause a
change came for Spain and El
Lute
Chorus:
He had only seen the
dark side of life, the man they called El
Lute
And he wanted a
home just like you and like me in a country where
all would be free
And then freedom really
came to his land and also to El
Lute
Now he walks in the
light of a sunny new day, he man they
called El
Lute
