En la celda 27

Fue un alacrán ponzoñoso

Que a los presos daba muerte

Era el terror de la celda

Ese maldito alacrán

Porque el preso que ahí entrara

Muerto lo habrían de sacar

El gobierno de Durango

El indulto prometía

Que al preso que ahí encerraran

Amaneciera con vida

A la carcel cayó un hombre

En esa mentada celda

Pedro Rojas era un hombre

Al que le tocó su turno

Y entraba a la 27 para pagar sus abusos

Un cerillo y una vela

Para alumbrarse un poquito

En esa maldita celda

Cerca ya de media noche vio

Vio al alacrán traicionero

Y aprovechando el momento

Lo atrapó con su sombrero

Cuando llegó el carcelo

A recoger al difunto

Pedro le dice sonriendo

Yo ya me gané el indulto
