The Lame One
A limping old man arrived
At the doors of a cockfight
He had a red rooster
And showed it to the people
Also a lot of money
He wanted a very strong fight
Over in hot waters
A derby was being celebrated
And when that old man entered
He challenged the matches
He wanted to bet 2 million
On an extraordinary fight
Quite upset
A man stood up
He said lame one, damn you
I'll take away your big mouth
I would like your bet more
If you double the value
After they made the deal
They showed a Colorado
His class was top-notch
A legitimate American
All the bettors
Turned against the red rooster
When they released the roosters
They grabbed each other in the air
The red rooster fell back
Cut from the chest
But he sang in the ring
The Colorado had died
The lame one with the red rooster
Impressed the cockfighters
Because he carried a bag
Bursting with money
In a town in Chihuahua
He has his chicken coop
