Soy un pobre venadito
Que habito en la cerranía
Como no soy tan mancito
No bajo al agua de día
De noche poco a poquito
Y a tus brazos vida mía
Ya tengo listo el nopal
Donde de cortar la tuna
Ya tengo listo el nopal
Donde de cortar la tuna
Como soy hombre formal
No me gusta tener una
Me gusta tener de a dos
Por si se me enoja alguna
Quisiera ser perla fina
De tus lucidos aretes
Quisiera ser perla fina
De tus lucidos aretes
Pa' besarte la orejita
Y morderte los cachetes
Quién te manda ser bonita
Si esto a mí me compromete
Ya con esta me despido
Pero pronto doy la vuelta
Ya con esta me despido
Pero pronto doy la vuelta
Nomás que me libre Dios
De una niña mosca muerta
De esas que, ay, mamá, por Dios
Pero salen a la puerta
No soy coplero y me voy cantando
Ahí dejo mi chilena a la morena
Que estoy amando
