No me despedi de mis amigos
A mi amor y a mis padres dije adiós
A solas llore no había testigos
Y mi pena la supo solo Dios
Y mi pena la supo solo Dios
Al norte llegue sin un centavo
Con dolor me aleje de mi pais
Hay, si hablara el río bravo
Que cruze en una vieja raiz
Que cruze en una vieja raiz
Valle de Texas, Westland, San Antionio
Houston, Dallas van en mi canción
Texas, es Texas muy grande en extension
Pero cabe aquí en mi corazón
Y no me despedi de los muchachos
Pero ya les mande una postal
Dice: Hola bola de borrachos, ya en serio
Los extrana su amigo el ilegal
Los extrana su amigo el ilegal
Que hermosa es la union America
Illinois, California y Tennessi
Pero allá en mi tierra mexicana
Un pedacito de cielo, es para mi
Un pedacito de cielo, es para mi
Adiós Laredo, Westland y San Antonio
Houston, Dallas van en mi canción
Adiós el Paso, ya llegue al Chamizal
Regreso su amigo el ilegal
Ya se va su amigo el ilegal
Regreso su amigo el ilegal
Ya se va su amigo el ilegal
