Era una provincianita
Que dejando su casita
Cayó un día a la ciudad
Sin sospechar, pobrecita
Que iba buscando su ruina
Y bien pronto un compadrito
Empezó su trabajito
Con engaño y con maldad
Y la muchacha rodó
Una noche en el Maipú
Entre un tango y un foxtrot
Infeliz provincianita
Tan gentil y tan bonita
La milonga te apresó
Y ya tu vida está marchita
Pobre flor, ya está muy lejos
El recuerdo de tus viejos
Tu candor se disipó
Y hoy te entregás a la cocó
Provinciana sin malicia
Que soñás con las delicias
De la vida en la ciudad
La capital te fascina
Pero mira que es dañina
Como vos, muchas quisieron
Conocerla y se vinieron
Para nunca retornar
Porque es muy fácil rodar
Una noche en el Maipú
Entre el tango y el champán
