Voy a cantar un corrido,
De un amigo de mi tierra
Llamadose valentín,
Que fue fusilado y colgado en la sierra
No me quisiera acordar,
Era una tarde de invierno
Cuando por su mala suerte
Cayo valentín en manos del gobierno
El coronel le decía,
¿Cual es la gente que mandas?
Son ochocientos soldados,
Que tienen sitiada la sierra de holandas
El coronel le pregunta,
¿Cual es la gente que guías?
Son ochocientos soldados,
Que trae por la sierra mariano mejía
Valentín como era hombre de nada les dio razón
Yo soy de los meros hombres,
Los que han inventado la revolución
El coronel le decía,
Yo te concedo el indulto
Pero me vas a decir cual es el jurado y la causa que juzgo
Antes de llegar al cerro valentín quiso llorar
Madre mía de guadalupe,
Por tu religión me van a matar
Vuela, vuela palomita,
Párate en ese fortín
Estas son las mañanitas
De un hombre valiente que fue valente.
