De esa tierra de Cocula
que es el alma del mariachi
vengo yo con mi cantar
voy camino a Aguas calientes
a la feria de San Marcos
a ver lo que puedo hallar.
Traigo un gallo muy jugado
para echarlo de tapado
con algún apostador
y también traigo pistola
por si alguno busca bola
y me tilda de hablador.
De Cocula es el mariachi
de Tecalitlán los sones
de San Pedro su cantar
de Tequila su mezcal
y los machos de Jalisco
afamados por entrones
para eso traen pantalones.
Ando en busca de una ingratade una joven presumida
que se fue con mi querer
traigo ganas de encontrarla
pa´ enseñarle que de un hombre
no se burla una mujer.
Se me vino de repente
dando pie pa´que la gente
murmurara porque sí
pero a ver hoy que la encuentre
y quedemos frente a frente
qué me va a decir a mí.
