CA la luz de las estrellas
empunaba su guitarG7ra
le cantaba las botellas
el alcohol lo apacioCnaba
Jose Manuel "el borG7rego"
Jimenez se apellCidaba
lo queria mucho su nieta
Marcelina se llG7amaba
Cuando se iba de su G7casa
y ella siempre lo busCcaba
pero el tenia un esconG7dite
donde nadie lo encontCraba
Cuando esFtaba en las cantinas
no sentia ningun doClor
por cuatro copas queG7ridas
dejaba el mas grande aCmor
G7MúsCicG7aC  
El borrego no era tonto
por que siempre se cuiG7daba
pero un dia que vino Reyna
a invitarlo a la parCranda
Cuando llego MarceG7lina
Jose la tenia abrazCada
lo mato con su cariño
y ella no le dijo G7nada
Cuando Reyna y sus aG7migos
gritaron aqui no hay Cnada
ella se cubrio de lG7lanto
pero se guardo una Cbala
Cuando esFtaba en las cantinas
no sentia ningun doClor
por cuatro copas queG7ridas
dejaba el mas grande aCmorG7  C
