La vida a la una
A la una nací yo,
La vida y a las dos,
A las dos me bautizaron.
La vida y a las tres,
A las tres supe de amores,
La vida y a las cuatro,
A las cuatro me casaron.
La vida a la una,
A la una nací yo,
Una, dos, tres y cuatro,
Ay, ay, ay, cinco, seis, cero.
Así bailan la cueca
Ay, ay, ay, los carpinteros,
Una, dos, tres y cuatro,
Ay, ay, ay, cinco, seis, cero.
Los carpinteros, sí,
Ay, ay, ay, cinco, seis, siete,
Así bailan la cueca
Ay, ay, ay, los alcahuetes.
Los alcahuetes, sí,
Ay, ay, ay, vamos en una,
Esta es la cueca larga,
Ay, ay, ay, de la ventura.
De la ventura, sí
Ay, ay, ay, vamos en dos,
Esta es la cueca larga
Ay, ay, ay, de juan de dios.
De juan de dios, ay, sí,
Ay, ay, ay, vamos en tres,
Esta es la cueca larga
Ay, ay, ay, de juan andrés,
De juan andrés, ay, sí
Ay, ay, ay, vamos en cuatro,
Esta es la cueca larga,
Ay, ay, ay, de san morajo.
De san morajo, ay, sí,
Ay, ay, ay, vamos en cinco,
Esta es la cueca larga,
Ay, ay, ay, de san francisco.
De san francisco, sí,
Ay, ay, ay, vamos en seis,
Esta es la cueca larga
Ay, ay, ay, que bailó el rey.
Que bailó el rey, ay, sí,
Ay, ay, ay, vamos en siete,
Esta es la cueca larga
Ay, ay, ay, de los pobretes.
De los pobretes, sí,
Ay, ay, ay, vamos en ocho,
Esta es la cueca larga,
Ay, ay, ay, de los morochos.
De los morochos, sí,
Ay, ay, ay, martes y jueves,
Esta es la cueca larga,
Ay, ay, ay, del diecinueve.
Cierto, martes y jueves,
Ay, ay, ay, del diecinueve.
