Todos me dicen el negro, llorona
Negro pero cariñoso

Yo soy como el chile verde, llorona
Picante pero sabroso

Dicen que no tengo duelo, llorona
Porque no me ven llorar
Dicen que no tengo duelo, llorona
Porque no me ven llorar

Hay muertos que no hacen ruido, llorona
Y es mas grande su penar
Hay muertos que no hacen ruido, llorona
Y es mas grande su penar

Ay de mi llorona, llorona
Llorona llévame al río
Ay de mi llorona, llorona
Llorona llévame al río

Tápame con tu rebozo, llorona
Que ya me muero de frío
Tápame con tu rebozo, llorona
Que ya me muero de frío
