Nació bajo de una higuera
su madre fue yegua fina
le llamaban la catrina
yo le puse el cantador.
Fue un potrillo con más brío
que otro caballo cualquiera
y como yo lo hice mio
resulto muy corredor
Era lindo mi caballo
era mi amigo mas fiel
ligerito como el rayo
era de muy buena ley
Cuando era de falsa rienda
daba ventaja a su madre
muy pronto dejo a su padre
con dos cuerpos le gano
Era de pelo retinto
rosalbo como un lucero
muy fachoso soy mitotero
y lindo de corazón
Nació bajo de una higuera
y en el potrero quedo
que lastima que muriera
mi compañero mejor
Por eso cuando el día muere
y la luna va a salir
me voy hasta aquel potrero
mis recuerdos a vivir.
