Traigo un gallo Colorado
Que jamás se me ha rajado
En el ruedo del palenque
En la ferias que ha peleado
Muchos gallos afamados
Han perdido lo valiente
La medida en la navaja
Pa' mi gallo nunca es nada
Se la juega como quiera
Yo le apuesto hasta la vida
Si se trata de jugarla
Me la rifo con cualquiera
Las carreras de caballos
Y los naipes de colores
Para mi son pura vida
Y el amor que a mi me quiera
Debe ser sin pretenciones
Pa que este de mi medida
Para gallos mi Jalisco
Mi mero Guadalajara
Les pregunto a los señores
Los que son apostadores
Cuando ponen a su gallo
Y si quieren les apuesto
Mi dinero, mi pistola
Mi montura y mi caballo
Las carreras de caballos
Y los naipes de colores
Para mi son pura vida
Y el amor que a mi me quiera
Debe ser sin pretenciones
Pa que este de mi medida
