El Rengo del Gallo Giro

An old man limped in
To the gates of a cockfight
He had a rooster with him
And showed it to the crowd
He also had quite a bit of cash
He wanted a really tough fight

Down in Aguascalientes
A derby was going on
And when that old man walked in
He challenged the fighters
He wanted to bet two million
On an extraordinary match

Very upset
A man stood up
He said, "Damn cripple
I’ll take you down a peg
I’d like your bet even more
If you double the stakes."

Ha, ha, ha, ha
All from Morelos, buddy

After they made the deal
They showed a red rooster
His name was Johnny Yomper
A legit American
All the bettors
Switched their bets to the rooster

When they let the roosters go
They clashed in the air
The red one fell back
With a cut to the chest
But he was still crowing
The red rooster had died

The crippled rooster
Impressed the cockfighters
Because he had a bag
Ready to burst with cash
In a town in Chihuahua
That’s where he keeps his coop
