El Corrido de Juan Martha
Banda El Recodo De Cruz Lizárraga
Juan Martha's Corrido
They said he carried a
Devil, lies, I didn't bring anything
What he had on his waist was a
Gun squad
He robbed and killed people
Because that's how his head had fun
It had a price
It was worth 15 thousand pesos
Juan Martha was brave
And feared of the government
The rural people feared him
As if it were poison
His little mother was crying
I cried and told him
If they had my son free
15 thousand pesos would give
Don't cry anymore mother
Don't offer them anything anymore
That little hill arriving
I laugh at the ropes
Don't cry anymore mother
Don't be tormenting me anymore
What of 100 lives I owe
I'm paying with one
With this I say goodbye
But I leave you a letter so that
keep singing
Juan Martha's corrido
