Carlos Saragosa left his home in Casas Grandes
when the moon was full



He had no money in his pocket, just a locket of
his sister framed in Gold



He headed for el Sueco, stole a rooster named
Gallo Del Cielo



Then he crossed the Rio Grande with that roosted
nestled deep within his arm







Galllo del Cielo was a warrior born in heaven so
the legends say



His wings they had been broken, he had one eye
rollin crazy in his head



He'd fought a hundred fights and the legends say
that one night near El Sueco 



He fought Cielo seven times, seven times he left
brave roosters dead







Hola myTeresa I'm thinkin of you now inSan
Antonio



I have 27 dollars and the good luck of your good
luck of your picture framed in gold



Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of
Gallo Del Cielo



Then I'll return to buy the land Pancho Villa
stole from father long ago







Outside of San Diego in the Onion fields of Paco
Monte Verde



The Pride of San Diego lay sleeping on a fancy
bed of silk



Adn they laughed when Saragosa pulled the
one-eyed Del Cielo from beneath his shirt



But they cried when Saragosa waked away with a
thousand dollar bill







Hola myTeresa I'm thinkin of you now in Santa
Barbara



I have 27 dollars and the good luck of your good
luck of your picture framed in gold



Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of
Gallo Del Cielo



Then I'll return to buy the land Pancho Villa
stole from father long ago







Now the moon has gone to hiding and the lantern
light spills shadows on the fighting sand



A wicked black named Zorro faces Del Cielo in the
sand



And Carlos Saragosa fears the tiny crack that
runs across his roosters beak



And he fears that he has lost the 50,000 dollars
riding on the fight







Hola myTeresa I'm thinkin of you now in Santa
Clara



The money's on the table, I'm holding now your
good luck framed in gold



Everything we dream of is riding on the spurs of
Del Cielo



Then I'll return to buy the land Pancho Villa
stole from father long ago







The signal it was given and the roosters rose
together far above the sand



Gallo Del Cielo sunk a gaff into Zorro's shiny
breast



They were separated quickly but they rose and
fought each other time and time again



And the legends all agreed that Gallo Del Cielo
fought the best







But then the screams of Saragosa filled the night
outside the town of Santa Clara



As the beak of Del Cielo lay broken like a shell
within his hand



And they say that Saragosa screamed a curse upon
the bones of Pancho Villa



As Zorro rose up one more time and drove Del
Cielo in the sand







Hola myTeresa I'm thinkin of you now in San
Francisco



I have no money in my pocket I no longer have
your good luck framed in gold



I buried it last evening with the bones of my
beloved Del Cielo



I will not return to buy the land that Villa
stole long ago







Do the rivers still run muddy outside of my
beloved Casas Grandes?



Does the scar upon my brother's face turn red
when he hears mention of my name?



And do the people of El Sueco still curse the
theft of Gallo Del Cielo?



Tell my family not to worry, I will not return to
cause them shame.
