Perla Sifuentes
Jay Perez

Voy a cantar un corrido
De un hombre muy endiablado
Le gustaban las mujeres
Y fue muy enamorado
En una noche lluviosa
Se encontró Perla Sifuentes
Sin darse cuenta esa noche
Que él iba encontrar la muerte

Su madrecita lloraba
Le rogaba que no fuera
Que no fuera a la cantina
Porque él no andaba, no andaba de suerte

¡Cuidado con la Perla, loco!

A él no le importaba nada
Él era un hombre bien macho
Con su pistola en la mano
Y su botella de vino

Perla andaba de malas
Andaba en la parranda
Andaba con sus amigas
Y no le importaba nada

Se encontró con el macho
Pidiéndole una tequila
Sin saber que ese hombre
Esa noche lluviosa le cambiaba la vida
