Siete Leguas el caballo
que Villa más estimaba.
Cuando oía silbar los trenes
se paraba y relinchaba.
En la estación de Hirajuato
cantaban los horizontes,
allí combatió formal
la Brigada Bracamonte.
Oye tú Francisco Villa
que dice tu corazón.
Ya no te acuerdas, valiente,
cuando tomaste a Torreón,
ya no te acuerdas valiente
que atacaste a Paredón.
Como a las tres de la tarde
silbó la locomotora.
¡Arriba Villa, muchachos,
suban la ametralladora!
Adiós torres de Chihuahua,
adiós torres de Pantera.
Ya vino Francisco Villa
a quitarles la frontera,
ya llegó Francisco Villa
a devolver las fronteras
