Dicen que en un tiempo atras vivia John Lennon amigo del pueblo
con sus pistolas cargadas y no respetaba en su vida la ley
la señora del alcalde lo esperaba en las noches a John
el cura, las prostitutas y la gorda vieja dueña del salon
y la gorda vieja dueña del salon
Un dia en un caballo muy viejo enterro al sheriff de ese lugar
sobre su tumba piso un dolar y una placa diciendo ladron
en pocos dias mato a los ayudantes y ahorco al señor juez
tiro tres tiros al aire y dijo que el pueblo estaba en libertad
y dijo que el pueblo estaba en libertad
Tres dias despues llego el ejercito cargado de indios muertos
despues de violar a las mujeres mataron en el pueblo a John
asi termina la historia de un pueblo y de un hombre cargado de honor
y no voy a estar negando que en todos los pueblos algo asi ocurrio
que en todos lo pueblos algo asi ocurrio.
