Corrido De Cananea
Linda Ronstadt
Cananea Ballad
I'm gonna give a detailed account
Of what has happened to me,
They have taken me prisoner
Being such a daring guy.
I went to Agua Prieta
To see who knew me
And at eleven at night
The police apprehended me.
The gendarmes apprehended me
American style,
Like a criminal man,
All with guns in hand.
The Cananea jail
Is located on a Mesa
And there I was processed
Because of my clumsiness.
I don't bid farewell
Because I don't have it here
I left it to the holy child
And to the lord of Mapimi.
