Jesús Amado
Los Tigres del Norte
Beloved Jesus
Jimenez his nickname
his name beloved Jesus
fought with the cops
from Brownsville on the Rio Grande
they didn't take away his load
for being a daring rooster.
around eleven in the morning
they made a call
that in a rubber boat
his contraband was passing
that Amado would cross it
at two in the morning.
a spotlight shone on him
and several shots were heard
Amado replied
with his gun and a horn
killing two cops
the other 5 ran away.
when he returned to Sinaloa
they put a price on the snitch
getting a surprise
when they realized
a woman he had
set up the betrayal.
when he went to confront
Amado felt a gunshot
but he also shot back
where he saw the flash
very badly wounded Patricia
fell into his arms.
before dying she said
I did it because I love you
I knew you were with another
and I couldn't stand the jealousy
I wanted to see you dead
rather than in someone else's arms.
