The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(cueca campesina)
(comaire) quisiera tener cien pesos
(comaire) pa buscarme un amorcito
(comaire) porque de balde no hay caso
(comaire) que me quieran un poquito.
Quien tuviera señores,
Unos trescientos,
Apuesto que me hablaran
De casamiento.
De casamiento, sí,
Por unos miles,
Amores a la chuña,
¡que viva chile!
Yo no tengo ni cobre
Porque soy pobre.
