Como con bronca y junando
De rabo de ojo a un costado
Sus pasos ha encaminado
Derecho pa'l arrabal
Lo lleva el presentimiento
De que en aquel potrerito
No existe ya el bulincito
Que fue su único ideal
Recordaba aquellas horas de garufa
Cuando minga de laburo se pasaba
Meta punga al codillo escolaseaba
Y en los burros se ligaba un metejón
Cuando no era tan junao por los tiras
La lanceaba sin tener el manyamiento
Una mina le solfeaba todo el vento
Y jugo con su pasión
Era un mosaico diquero
Que yugaba de quemera
Hija de una curandera
Mechera de profesión
Pero vivía engrupida
De un cafiolo vidalita
Y le pasaba la guita
Que le chacaba al matón
Frente a frente dando muestra de coraje
Los dos guapos se trenzaron en el bajo
Y el Ciruja, que era listo para el tajo
Al cafiolo le cobro caro su amor
Hoy ya libre 'e la gayola y sin la mina
Campaneando un cacho 'e Sol en la vereda
Piensa un rato en el amor de la quemera
Y solloza en su dolor
