Ta muy malo el corralero
y allá en el potrero
como viejo está.
Hay que ayudarlo a que muera
para que no sufra más.
Siempre fuiste el más certero
y por eso debes su mal aliviar.
Como pretenden que yo,
que lo crié de potrillo,
clave en su pecho un cuchillo
por el patrón lo ordenó.
Déjenlo no más pastar,
no rechace mi consejo,
que yo lo voy a enterrar
cuando de muera de viejo.
Junto al estero del bajo
lo encontré tendido
casi al expirar.
Me acerqué muy lentamente
y se lo quise explicar,
pero al verlo resignado
me tembló la mano
y me puse a llorar.
Como pretenden que yo
que lo crié de potrillo,
clave en su pecho un cuchillo
por el patrón lo ordenó.
Déjenlo no más pastar,
no rechace mi consejo,
que yo lo voy a enterrar
cuando de muera de viejo.
