Estaban en un reten
Un peloton de soldados
La judicial federal
Toditos muy bien armados
Esperando un contrabando q habia sido denunciado
El jefe de judiciales al sargento platicando
La carga blanca es muy grande
La q estamos esperando
El jefe de traficante fue federal a mi mando
El sargento le contesta conosco bien a martin
El no es homnre q se rinda el va
Pelear hasta el fin si no
Le hacemos un plan muchos vamos a morir
Venia martin cadena en una troca amarilla
Le atrabesaron dos carros
Jente de la policia como si fuera rendirse se
Estacionaba en la orilla
Habriendo el fuego de pronto cuando los vio hacerse bola
Doblandolos casi a todos como si fueran de goma
El sargento cayo muerto para donde el sol se asoma
Se ollo un balaso de mauser despues de la balasera
Caia martin al instante
Tirado en la carretera el jefe de federales
Salia de una arboleda
Cuando se estaba mueriendo
Martin dice al federal
Ya puede apartar la carga
Como lo haciamos alla cuando usted era mu jefe y reportar
La mitad
