Tengo la camisa negra 
Hoy mi amor esta de luto 
Hoy tengo en el alma una pena 
Y es por culpa de tu embrujo 

Hoy sé que tú ya no me quieres 
Y eso es lo que más me hiere 
Que tengo la camisa negra
Y una pena que me duele

Mal parece que solo me quedé 
Y fue pura todita tu mentira
Que maldita mala suerte la mía 
Que aquel día te encontré

Por beber del veneno malevo de tu amor 
Yo quedé moribundo y lleno de dolor 
Respiré de ese humo amargo de tu adiós
Y desde que tú te fuiste yo solo tengo

Tengo la camisa negra 
Porque negra tengo el alma 
Yo por ti perdí la calma 
Y casi pierdo hasta mi cama 

Come on come on come on baby 
Te digo con disimulo 
Que tengo la camisa negra 
Y debajo tengo el difunto

Tengo la camisa negra 
Ya tu amor no me interesa 
Lo que ayer me supo a gloria 
Hoy me sabe a pura 
Miércoles por la tarde y tú que no llegas 
Ni siquiera muestras señas 
Y yo con la camisa negra 
Y tus maletas en la puerta

Mal parece que solo me quedé 
Y fue pura todita tu mentira
Que maldita mala suerte la mía 
Que aquel día te encontré

Por beber del veneno malevo de tu amor 
Yo quedé moribundo y lleno de dolor 
Respiré de ese humo amargo de tu adiós
Y desde que tú te fuiste yo solo tengo

Tengo la camisa negra 
Porque negra tengo el alma 
Yo por ti perdí la calma 
Y casi pierdo hasta mi cama 

Come on come on come on baby 
Te digo con disimulo 
Que tengo la camisa negra 
Y debajo tengo el difunto

Tengo la camisa negra 
Porque negra tengo el alma 
Yo por ti perdí la calma 
Y casi pierdo hasta mi cama 

Come on come on come on baby 
Te digo con disimulo 
Que tengo la camisa negra 
Y debajo tengo el difunto
