Aquí vine porque vine a la feria de las flores no hay cerro que se me empine ni cuaco que se me “atore”. En mi caballo retinto he llegado de muy lejos y traigo pistola al cinto y con ella doy consejos. Atravesé la montaña “pa” venir a ver las flores aquí hay una rosa huraña que es la flor de mis amores. Me gusta cantar al viento porque vuelan mis canciones y digo lo que yo siento en toditos los lugares. Aquí vine porque vine a la feria de las flores no hay cerro que se me empine ni cuaco que se me “atore” Y aunque otro “quera” cortarla yo la “devisé” primero y juro que he de robarla aunque tenga jardinero. Yo la he de ver trasplantada en el huerto de mi casa y si sale el jardinero “pos” a ver, a ver que pasa.
