Soy del cerro colorao
Ande no sabe llover
Ande naides cruza el río
Cuando le da por crecer
En piedras y moldejones
Trabajan grandes y chicos
Martillando todo el día
Pa' que otros se vuelva rico
Pasaba un chango cantando
Y en una chata carguera
Y la mula iba diciendo
Pucha, ¡qué vida fulera¡
El zorro me llevó un pollo
Y una tarde lo rastrié
Vidé que usaba alpargatas
Y eran del número diez
Agua le di a un garabato
Que se estaba por secar
Y me ha pagado con flores
Que alegran mi soledad
Me fui para Taco Yaco
A comprar un marchador
Y me truje un zaino flaco
Peticito y roncador
Chacarera, chacarera
De mi cerro colorao
Al mozo que está bailando
Lo voy a elegir de cuñao
El zorro me llevó un pollo
Y una tarde lo rastrié
Vidé que usaba alpargatas
Y eran del número diez
