"Por Dios santos, que no vuelvo a Texas, ni por la feria, Flaco.
Voy ya cantar estos versos, aunque yo no soy de aqui,
yo soy puro Mejicano, soy de San Luis Potosi.
Caminando y caminando he llegado a San Antonio,
me encontre muy buen trabajo y tambien con el demonio.
Found me a little Tejanita and I fell in love with her.
She was so bonita and I had to marry her.
Then she took off to Laredo, and she called me from Nuevo Leon,
She said: Send me some more money, so I can come back home.
Ya me voy para mi tierra, aunque pobre es mi nacion,
pero si, les aseguro, que alla manda el pantalon.
Ahi les dejo a mi Tejana, no la pude soportar,
hay que la toree el diablo, a ver, si el la puede aguantar.
Now I'm back in my homeland, back where I was born.
One thing I know for sure now, many wear the Pantalons.
Left her in old San Antonio, 'cause I could not afford her.
Hay que la toree el diablo, a ver, si el la puede aguantar.
She belongs to el diablo, he can have her, I don't want her any more.
"
