Cuando yo salí del rancho
No llevaba ni calzones
Pero si llegue a tijuana
De puritos aventones
Como no traía dinero
Me paraba en las esquinas
Para ver a quien gorreaba
Los pecuesos de gallina
Yo quería cruzar la línea
De la unión americana
Yo quería ganar dinero
Porque esa era mi tirada
Como no traía papeles
Mucho menos pasaportes
Me avente cruzando cerros
Yo solito y sin coyotes
Después verán como me fue:
Llegue a santa ana con las patas bien peladas,
los huaraches que llevaba se acabaron de volada, el sombrero y la camisa los perdí
en la correteada que me dieron
unos "gueros" que ya mero me agarraban
Ya llegue a la carretera
Muerto de hambre y desvelado
Me subi en un tren carguero
Que venía de colorado
Y con rumbo a san francisco
De un vagón me fui colado
Pero con tan mala suerte
Que en salinas me agarraron
Después verán como me fue:
Llegó la migra de la mano me agarraron,
me decían no se que cosas que en inglés
me regañaron me digeron los gabachos
"te rregresas pa' tu rancho"
pero yo sentí buen gacho regresar pa' mi terruño,
de bracero fracasado sin dinero y sin hilacho,
de bracero fracasado sin dinero y aún hilacho...
