Plutarco Malpaisillo

Plutarco Malpaisillo
He's a simple man
He's a man of honor
Born with a twist
Like everyone who works hard
He's lived so many years
He's faced disappointments
And every time I see him
He always sings this song

Plutarco Malpaisillo, that's me
I'm just a poor cart driver
I'm just a poor laborer
I'm poor but I'm honest
When I bury the plow, I'm
Richer than the rich
And even if they call me poor
I'm happy just the way I am

When it comes to women
Plutarco's always been tough
Every woman he got
Would leave him for the foreman
That's why this guy
Isn't so lucky in love
And now when he falls for someone
He better sing this song

Plutarco Malpaisillo, that's me
I'm just a poor cart driver
I'm just a poor laborer
I'm poor but I'm honest
When I bury the plow, I'm
Richer than the rich
And even if they call me poor
I'm happy just the way I am

Plutarco, such a kid
He joined the guard
It was his dream
He said that soon
He'd wear the hat of a high-ranking colonel
Time went by step by step
And he never made it past private
And tossing his uniform
He sang this song

Plutarco Malpaisillo, that's me
I'm just a poor cart driver
I'm just a poor laborer
I'm poor but I'm honest
When I bury the plow, I'm
Richer than the rich
And even if they call me poor
I'm happy just the way I am
