The Dark-Skinned One
Bless the holy child
he will favor us
the dark-skinned one is drunk
God knows what he will do
The dark-skinned one shouted at them
that he was a man and wouldn't back down
and boasting in the mountains
only God he forgave
The dark-skinned one shouted at them
jumping over a wire fence
I still have money to spare
gangsters and starving dead
The dark-skinned one jumped the fence
rolling like a ball
what would be his bad luck
he dropped his gun
The dark-skinned one had money
but the money was no good
and that's why in San Ignacio
the police learned
Fly, fly little dove
land on those logs
here ends the ballad
of this famous dark-skinned one
