Estaba un rotito un día
en una fonda tomando,
una cantora cantando
lo miraba y se reía.
El rotito se fijó
en la risueña cantora,
y en el acto, sin demora,
una copa le sirvió.
Y le dijo: amada mía,
en tus brazos me durmiera,
si me conseguís tu amor,
dulces besitos te diera.
La cantora se reía
del besito que le dio,
y el rotito le pidió
media 'ocena 'e botellas,
por fin que a la doncella
medio cura' la tenía,
y le dijo si podía
acompañarla un poquito,
y ella dándole un besito,
lo miraba y se reía.
Por fin que'el roto tomó
la doncella de una mano
y con ella muy ufano
de la fonda se salió,
pa'l monte se encaminó
donde tendió su mantita
y en ella se recostó
muy feliz la mujercita.
Para toda la compaña,
cogollito 'e verde planta,
cuando vaigan a una fonda
no se olviden de la manta.
