Gabino barrera no entendía razones
Andando en la borrachera
Traía su pistola con seis cargadores
Le daba gusto a cualquiera.
Usaba el bigote en cuadro abultado
Su paño al cuello enredado
Calzones de manta, chamarra de cuero
Traía punteado el sombrero.
Sus pies campesinos usaban huaraches
Y a veces a raís andaba
Pero le gustaba pagar los mariachis
La plata no le importaba.
Con una botella de caña en la mano
Gritaba ¡viva zapata!
Porque era ranchero el indio suriano
Un hijo de buena mata.
Era alto y bien dado muy ancho de espaldas
Su rostro mal encachado
Su negra mirada un aire le daba
Al buitre de la montañá.
Gaino barrera dejaba mujeres
Con hijos por donde quiera
