Cuando el domingo te pones
Tu traje negro de pana y ese
Clavel en la boca y ese sombrero
De alas hancha.

Cuando silva en los hierros de mi ventana
De tanto y tanto quererte
El corazon se me para.

No me llames dolores
Llamame lola que ese nombre
En tus labios sabe amapola
Sabe amapola.

De noche y dia solo pienso
En ti,
Eres la vida para mi, ay! ay!
No te llame francisco, llamate
Antonio que antonio se llamaba
Mi primer novio
Mi primer novio.

Ni tu madre a mi me quiere
Ni la mia ati tampoco
Que nos importa de nadie
Si nos queremos nosotros.

Aunque ponga una tapia y detras
De la tapia un fozo, han de cruzarlos
Mis brazos y han de cruzarlos mis
Ojos.

No me llames dolores
Llamame lola,
Que ese nombre en tus labios
Sabe amapola
Sabe amapola.
De noche y dia solo pienso
En ti, eres la vida para mi
Ay! ay! no te llame francisco
Llamate antonio que antonio
Se llamaba,

Mi primer novio
Mi primer novio.
