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 Potosí. 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 León, She said: Send me some more money, so I can come back home. Ya me voy para mi tierra, aunque pobre es mi nación, pero si, les aseguro, que alla manda el pantalón. Ahí 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 Pantalóns. 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.
