Cuando muera este criollazo
Morirán las alegrías
De luto estará el abasto
Cerrada la pulpería
Cuando muera el divertido
El aire ya de mi muerte
Llorarán los alambiques
Y la pipa de aguardiente
Llorarán los alambiques
Y la pipa de aguardiente
Apostaron a correr
El sapo y la comadreja
Castigando pudo el sapo
Ganarle por media oreja
La volvieron a correr
Redoblando la parada
Pero en medio del camino
Pegó el sapo una rodada
Pero en medio del camino
Pegó el sapo una rodada
Un santiagueño se ha muerto
Porque le ha llegao la hora
Póngale la cruz bendita
Con tres vainas de algarroba
Un sanjuanino al morir
Pedía agonizante
Un buen vasito de vino
Y una criollita que cante
Un buen vasito de vino
Y una criollita que cante
