		Soon the fame of his name

		Spread like wild fire all over the land

		For they knew he was right
>		        Am
		And his fight was their fight.

		No one gave him a chance
		In the stain of those days
		On boards every place
		They have glued up the face
		Of El Lute.
		And he robbed where he could
		Just like once Robin Hood
		They finally caught him
		And that seems the end
		But they caught him in vane
		Cause the change came for Spain
		And El Lute.

!		Refrain:
		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 the country where all would be free
		When the freedom really came to his land
		And also to El Lute.
		Now he walks in the light of a sunny new day
		The man they called El Lute.
