Yo he visto cruces de palo
A la orilla del camino
Aquel que muere en el campo
No lo olvida el campesino
Yo he visto cruces de palo
A la orilla del camino
Le cantan los chalchaleros
Como eligiendo sus trinos
Su nombre nadie lo supo
Pero no es desconocido
Yo he visto cruces de palo
A la orilla del camino
Flores del campo soleado
Con sus pétalos marchitos
Se quedan junto a la cruz
Y el viento lleva un suspiro
Yo he visto cruces de palo
A la orilla del camino
Si lo ha apretau un caballo
O en un duelo fue malherido
Si se cansó el corazón
O en la nieve se ha dormido
Yo he visto cruces de palo
A la orilla del camino
Muerte de aquel que camina
Por el último camino
Tiene una cruz y un recuerdo
Pegau a los sembradíos
Yo he visto cruces de palo
A la orilla del camino
