Llevaba catorce tiros
y un pistolón oxidao
lo arrearon pal calabozo
por no estar autorizao
de poco valió que tenga
dos hijos y un entenao.
El cuero no vale nada
hoy las cosas han cambiao
una liebre son tres pesos
y el tiro del recortao
vale el doble que una bala
pero es tiro asegurao.
No via hablar de los arreglos
qué hay que hacer en el poblao
el hambre tiene costumbres
que te hacen acostumbrao
a volar por los alambres
pa no acabar engrillao.
Cuando no haya trabajo
hay que andar como el pescao
refalando entre los juncos
con el aliento apretao
desovando la amargura
de furtiviar un bocao.
Llevaba catorce tiros
y el corazón reventao
en antes era otra cosa
la ley miraba al tirao
hoy pa echarle algo a la olla
hay que estar del otro lao.
La Patria sigue pariendo
amores desigualaos
los que acuerdan se olvidaron
de acordarlo al olvidao
qué lindo que hubiera sido
que no me hubieran fallao.
