El Corrido Del Dr. Fonseca

Winds from the north were blowing
from the direction of Sinaloa
Don Antonio Fonseca
his time was approaching
even on the list
a sister and her lady were coming too.

The doctor said to his wife
I want to take you out to dinner
we are newlyweds
we must enjoy life
they didn't know that from that dinner
they wouldn't return.

He argued with the waiter
who called a patrol
that's what I don't understand
a concentration arrived
maybe a coincidence
maybe an execution.

His wife Dorita shouts
don't shoot, there are ladies coming
that pleading voice
was silenced by the gunfire
in a few seconds
her sister was going to follow.

The doctor told the boy
you must use the gunfire
can't you see we're surrounded
we must die fighting
t he boy didn't react
and the bullets took him down.

Nearly three hundred bullets
his armored car had
but none got through
job guaranteed
but when he went out for his wife
the bullets riddled him.

Back in the month of July
they had killed his brother
he killed two policemen
surely they wanted revenge
his gun jammed
and that's how they managed to kill him.

They said they were bandits
that's why they finished him off
they stole his jewelry
and American money
money is the least of it
because they will continue rough.
