Viajando para Fonseca
Yo me detuve en Valledupar
Viajando para Fonseca
Yo me detuve en Valledupar
Y allá en la plaza me encontré
Con un viejito conversón
Y al pasar le pregunté
Oiga compae cómo se llama usted
Y allá en la plaza me encontré
Con un viejito conversón
Y al pasar le pregunté
Oiga compae cómo se llama usted
Me llaman Compae Chipuco
Y vivo a orillas del río Cesar
Me llaman Compae Chipuco
Y vivo a orillas del río Cesar
Soy vallenato de verdad
Tengo las patas bien pintá
Con mi sombrero bien alón
Y pa' remate me gusta el ron
Soy vallenato de verdad
Tengo las patas bien pintá
Con mi sombrero bien alón
Y pa' remate me gusta el ron
Me llaman Compae Chipuco
Y vivo a orillas del Rio Cesar
Me llaman Compae Chipuco
Y vivo a orillas del Rio Cesar
Soy vallenato de verdad
No creo en cuento no creo en na'
Solamente en Pedro Castro
Alfonso Lopez y nada más
Soy Vallenato de verdad
No creo en cuento no creo en na'
Solamente en Pedro Castro
En Santo Ecce Homo y nada más
Bueno viejo, que le vaya bien
Chao Gracias, nos vemo'
Uyyy
