A mi nada me faltaba
Cuando a mi moro tenía
A mi nada me faltaba
Cuando mi moro tenía
Libre era cuanto quería
Ni guapetón me alcanzaba
Ni alcalde me perseguía
Cuando a mi moro tenía
Mi caballo era una flecha
Cuando la espuela le hincaba
Mi caballo era una flecha
Cuando la espuela le hincaba
Tanto caballos cansaba
Cuando en mi mano derecha
La bola certera alzaba
Mi caballo era una flecha
Indio, volvéme mi moro
Que me has llevado la vida
Indio, volvéme mi moro
Que me has llevado la vida
Mi bien mi único tesoro
Yo te daré mi querida
Mucho mejor que el oro
Indio, volvéme mi moro
Y a mi nada me faltaba
Cuando mi moro tenía
Y a mi nada me faltaba
Cuando mi moro tenía
Libre era cuanto quería
Ni guapetón me alcanzaba
Ni alcalde me perseguía
Cuando mi moro tenía
