Fui de la pampa el primor
En mis largas correrías
En mis largas correrías
Cuando vara zarza había
O enemigo y linda flor
O enemigo y linda flor
Atestao el tirador
El mundo me era chiquito
Hoy solo ando al trotecito
Porque galopar no puedo
Al frío le tengo miedo
Y busco lo calentito
Y busco lo calentito
Ya no tengo ni en qué andar
Porque tuito lo he perdido
Porque tuito lo he perdido
Y el que me haya conocido
Bien se puede santiguar
Bien se puede santiguar
Las priendas de cristianar
Se me han juido por el canto
Un resultante desbando
Porque cayí destrozao
Y es mi situación, cuñao
Como pa’ soltar el llanto
Como pa’ soltar el llanto
Por ahí si me llega a ver
Amigazo, le prevengo
Amigazo, le prevengo
Que ando manco, sordo y rengo
Y ni a gatas puedo comer
Y ni a gatas puedo comer
Le disparo a la mujer
Como si al demontre viera
Y buscando una tapera
Para vivir sosegao
Soy como un zorro guasqueao
Que busca una vizcachera
Que busca una vizcachera
