Que tú no puedes gastarte

Te contare de un valiente fusilado

Aya en Chihuahua

Lo sentenciaron a muerte

Con la firma de Carranza

Y a las seis de la mañana

Al panderón lo llevaban
The tambourine was carried
Y tú, pequeño hombrecillo
And you, little man
Que te conviertes en juez

Haces el juicio a las tres

Y fusilas a las seis

Después te lavas las manos

Dices se cumplió la ley

Al doblar en las campanas fusilaron

Igual le paso a Argumedo

En un panteón de Durango

Y es que tiene tanta cuerda

Que tendrá que reventar
