Que tu mama está en el campo
Negrito,
Trabajando,
Trabajando, duramente
Trabajando, sí.
Trabajando y va de luto
Trabajando, si
Trabajando y no le pagan
Trabajando, si
Trabajando y va tosiendo
Trabajando, si
El negrito chiquitito
El negrito, si
Trabajando, si
Trabajando, si
Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama está en el campo
Negrito, negrito
