The Devil Made The Rum For Us

Englische Version von Udo Jürgens - Der Teufel hat den Schnaps gemacht 1973
Gesungen von Santiano


As I was drinking at the bar
A girl walked in the room
She pointed at my glass from far
And said: This is your doom

She told me she was send from god
To save mankind from pain
But drinking men she'd seen a lot
They all went down the drain

The devil made the rum for us
And there ain't no denying
You'll hear how mean the devil laughs
On the day he'll be watchin' us dying

It felt so good to have her near
She was a sight to see
I said the rum my lovely dear
Will do no harm to me

I raised my glass and took a sip
„You're pitiful“, she said
This sip might be a sip to much
The one you might regret

The devil made the rum for us
And there ain't no denying
You'll hear how mean the devil laughs
On the day he'll be watchin' us dying

(Instrumental)

She looked at me with loving eyes
As I took one last drink
But in her room I realized
It made my bowsprit shrink
The devil made the rum for us
And there ain't no denying
You'll hear how mean the devil laughs
On the day he'll be watchin' us dying

The devil made the rum for us
And there ain't no denying
You'll hear how mean the devil laughs
On the day he'll be watchin' us dying.
