Por el camino del sitio mío
Un carretero alegre pasó
Con sus canciones de muy sentida
Y muy guajira alegre cantó
Me voy al transbordador (bam bam)
A descargar la carreta (bam bam)
Me voy al transbordador (bam bam)
A descargar la carreta (bam bam)
Para cumplir con la meta (bam bam)
De mi pequeña labor
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
Yo trabajo sin reposo (bam bam)
Para poderme casar (bam bam)
Yo trabajo sin reposo (bam bam)
Para poderme casar (bam bam)
Y si lo llego a lograr (bam bam)
Seré un guajiro dichoso
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
Yo soy guajiro y carretero (bam bam)
Y en el campo vivo bien (bam bam)
Soy guajiro y carretero (bam bam)
Y en el campo vivo bien (bam bam)
Porque el campo es el Edén
Más lindo del mundo entero
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
Chapea el monte, cultiva el llano
Recoge el fruto de tu sudor
Chapea el monte, cultiva el llano
Recoge el fruto de tu sudor
