Estaba lavando anselma a orillas de un manantial.
Pasó cantando la leva
Al frente iba un capitán.
Pasó cantando la leva
Al frente iba un capitán.
Al ver tan linda morena
Al capitán le gustó.
Y no le habló por la buena,
A fuerza se la llevó.
Cipriano, hermano de anselma,
Peleó con el capitán,
Valiente como una fiera
Y no le pudo ganar.
El capitán a balazos
Mató a cipriano guzmán
Y anselma sobre sus brazos
Lo contempló agonizar.
La tropa se había marchado
Muy lejos de aquel lugar,
Y aquel cobarde malvado
Quería su presa gozar.
Y aquel cobarde malvado
Quería su presa gozar.
Rodaron los dos al suelo
La hembra y el criminal,
Logró la pistola anselma
Y acribilló al capitán.
Logró la pistola anselma
Y acribilló al capitán.
Se hincó poquito a poquito.
Después la tierra besó,
Soltó su pelo bonito
Y luego al viento gritó:
¡ Ya estás vengado hermanito
De este cobarde matón!
