Cuando despertaba
De dormir la tranca
Manyé que mi paica
Se me había espiantao
Revolví el cotorro
Por su última carta
Pero de ande yerba
Nada había dejao
A indagar me puse
Llamé a mi vecino
Y ese, muy ladino
Pronto me batió
Que en la madrugada
Cuando yo dormía
Con uno de moza
Mi rubia fugó
¡Pucha con la rubia
Perjura y taimada!
Yo que la quería
De tan buena ley
Me ha dejao chairando
Como pa' cuereada
Y me ha puesto un yugo
Lo mismo que a buey
Cuando la recuerdo
Acude a mi mente
El dicho de un criollo
Lleno de razón
Que como la mosca
La mujer se para
Sin fijarse en donde
Ni hacer distinción
Para consolarme
De mi desventura
Cosas de la vida
Digo en mi interior
Lo que a mí me pasa
A muchos ocurre
Y hasta sé de algunos
Que les pasa peor
No olviden amigos
Si en sus correrías
Con algunas moscas
Dan un tropezón
Échenles bufache
Y otros ingredientes
Y manyen si tienen
Buono corazón
