Vivo en una prisión triste y negra
Por que ay me tocaba esta suerte
Yo seria más feliz si me dieran
Por castigo la pena de muerte
Esta celda en que me hayo cautivo
Poco a poco me va consumiendo
Si vivieran mis padres queridos
No estaría en esta cárcel sufriendo
El maldito veneno del vino
Y el amor en que quise confiar
Son las cosas que tienen la culpa
Que ahora viva como un criminal
Paso noches enteras llorando
Y en silencio rezándole al cielo
Soy el preso que ya en muchos años
Nadie viene a brindarle un consuelo
El maldito veneno del vino
Y el amor en que quise confiar
Son las cosas que tienen la culpa
Que ahora viva como un criminal
