(Según versión cantada por Carlos Valladares)
Ay, compadre, ay, compadre,
qué solo me estoy quedando;
se me fue la morenita
que yo le estaba cuidando.
Le dije que se cuidara, compadre mío.
Le dije, no la llevara nunca pa'l río,
que vienen de la otra orilla,
que vienen del otro lado,
le llevan su morenita
y usted se queda colgado.
¡Ojo, compadrito, que hay gente mala!
Ay, compadre, ay, compadre,
yo no la puedo encontrar.
La busqué por la Alameda,
también por el Palomar.
Le dije que se cuidara, compadre mío.
Alameda y Palomar estaban vacíos.
Búsquela por la otra orilla,
búsquela por otro lado.
Búsquela, compadre, pronto,
si no, se queda colgado.
¡Ojo, compadrito, que hay gente chueca!
Ay, compadre, ay, compadre,
que ya me muero de pena;
la busqué por la Alameda
y no estaba mi morena.
