Tengo tanto que agradecer
Al que me dio de beber
Cuando de sed me moría
Agua en jarro, gusto a pozo
Pero río caudaloso
Me parecía
Estos ojos no olvidarán
Al que una vez me dio pan
Cuando el hambre me afligía
Miga dura, pan casero
Que trigal del mundo entero
Me parecía
Seas siempre bendito
Por tu buen modo
Porque al darme poquito
Me diste todo
Antes que la muerte
Me robe la ocasión
Para corresponderte
Aquí te mando mi corazón
Hoy me acuerdo de aquel que ayer
Se supo compadecer
Cuando lágrimas vertía
Era parco su consuelo
Pero Dios con un pañuelo
Me parecía
Nunca pude olvidarme yo
Del que una vez me albergó
Cuando techo no tenía
Rancho pobre, catre chico
Pero caserón de rico
Me parecía
Seas siempre bendito
Por tu buen modo
Porque al darme poquito
Me diste todo
Antes que la muerte
Me robe la ocasión
Para corresponderte
Aquí te mando mi corazón
