Es Maricruz la mosita,
La mas bonita der barrio de Santa Cruz.
El viejo barrio judío, rosal florío,
Le ha dado rosas de luz.
Y desde la Macarena,
La vienen a comtemplar
Pues su carita morena
Hase a los hombres soñar.
Y una noche de luna
El silencio rompió
La guitarra moruna
Y una voz que cantó
¡Ay, Maricruz, Maricruz!
Maravilla de mujé;
Der barrio de Santa Cruz
Eres un rojo clavé.
Mi vía sólo eres tú
Y por jurarte yo eso
Me vi de cariño preso
Por tus ojos Maricruz.
¡Ay, Maricruz, Maricruz!
Fue como una pluma en el viento
El juramento y a su queré traicionó.
Y sin dejar una huella,
Detrás de ella la niña Sevilla dejó.
La gente mita sin pena
Su reja sin un rosal
Pues de aquella flor morena
Ninguno supo llamar
Solamente hubo un hombre
Que en sus hierros lloró
Recordando su nombre
Y esta copla cantó
