Cantinero que todo lo sabes
He venido a pedirte un consejo
Pero quiero que tu no me engañes
No me digas que no eres parejo
Ya tome mil botellas contigo
Y me has dicho las cosas mas crueles
No me digas que no soy tu amigo
Y confiesa tambien que la quieres
Yo no voy a matarme por nadie
Yo mi vida la vivo borracho
Si me cambia por ti que bonito
Tomaremos los dos a lo macho
Cantinero que todo lo puedes
No me tengas respeto ni miedo
Tu me das un balazo si quieres
Yo aunque quiera pegarte no puedo
Se me doblan las piernas de sueño
Dame pues otra mugre botella
Pero dime que tu eres su dueño
Y brindemos contentos por ella
Yo no voy a matarme por nadie
Te la dejo por dios te la dejo
Pero choca tu copa conmigo
Y me das o te doy un consejo
