En las cuchillas se pone el Sol
Las golondrinas han vuelto ya
Y por las sendas del campo verde
Un carretero cantando va
Alma de mi alma, como lloré
Bajo este cielo lleno se Sol
Cuando agitaste en la tranquera
Tu pañuelito diciendo adiós
Ay paisanita vuelve a mi amor
Sin ti mi vida no puede estar
Las madreselvas se han marchitado
Y las calandrias no cantan ya
Ay paisanita vuelve a mi amor
Hacha tapera la casa está
Y entre los sauces llora el remanso
Porque tus labios no cantan más
En las cuchillas se ha puesto el Sol
Mientras la tarde muriendo está
Y así, cantando, va el carretero
Las desventuras de su cantar
