Recogiendo leña en la playa
Se hallaba la negra cresencia
La negrita a mí me esperaba
Para que la llevara a la fiesta
Por el río condoto ay mi gente
Por los lados de la cabecera
Y en la chosa de Leopoldino
La tambora estaba sonando
Arratré mi champa a la playa
Por los lados de la cabecera
La gente que estaba bailando
Pregonaba de esta manera
Cúñala, ay cuñala
Cuña esa tambora ay cúñala
Cuñala, ay cuñala
Cuña esa tambora, ay cúñala
Yo le dije al tío Quintiliano
Que no fuera al rela de tamando
Que la gente baila sabroso
Y por nada sale peleando
Cuando terminó la parranda
Yo salí a buscar mi negrita
Pero esa se había marchado
Con hinchao pa' puntardita
Solito sentado en la playa
Le pido a mi Dios con paciencia
Pa ́ que el sinvergüenza de hinchao
Me traiga a la negra cresencia
Cúñala, ay cúñala
