Son Mexicano

Negrita de mi pesares, hojas de papel volando.
Negrita de mis pesares, hojas de papel volando.
A todos diles que sí, pero no le digas cuando,
así me dijiste a mí, por eso vivo penando.
El carretero se va, ya se va para Los Reyes,
el carretero no va, porque le faltan los bueyes.
Señor carretero le vengo a avisar,
que sus animales se le van a ahogar.
Unos en la arena, otros en la mar,
señor carretero le vengo a avisar.
Por ahí va la rueda, déjenla rodar,
porque la carreta no puede llegar.
Oiga amigo su carreta no se le vaya a atascar,
avísele a los yunteros que la vengan a sacar.
Cuando me traes a mi negra que la quiero ver aquí,
con su rebozo de seda que le traje de Tepic.
Era de madrugada cuando te empecé a querer,
un beso a la media noche, y el otro al amanecer.
Ay, la la la, Ay la ra la ra la la,
era de madrugada cuando te empecé a querer.
Ay, la la la, Ay la ra la ra la la,
un beso a la media noche y el otro al amanecer.
