Mina, que te manyo de hace rato
Perdoname si te bato
De que yo te vi nacer
Tu cuna fue un conventillo
Alumbrado a querosén
Justo a los catorce abriles
Te entregastes a la farra
Las delicias del gotán
Te gustaban las alhajas
Los vestidos a la moda
Y las farras de champán
Anduviste pelechada
De sirvienta acompañada
Por pasar por niña bien
Y de muchas envidiada
Porque llevabas buen tren
Y te hiciste cachadora
Luego fuiste la señora
De un comerciante mishe
Lo dejaste arruinado
Sin vento, amurado
En la puerta de un café
Después fuiste la amiguita
De un viejo boticario
Y el hijo de un comisario
Todo el vento te saco
Y empezó tu decadencia
Las alhajas amuraste
Y una pieza alquilaste
En una casa 'e pensión
Te hiciste tonadillera
Pasaste ratos extraños
Y a fuerza de desengaños
Quedaste sin corazón
Fue tu vida como un lirio
De congojas y martirios
Solo un dolor te agobio
No tenias en el mundo ni un consuelo
Y el amor de madre te falto
Fuiste papusa de fango
Y las delicias de un tango
Te espiantaron del bulín
Los amigos te engrupieron
Y ellos mismos te perdieron
Noche a noche en el festín
