  • Verse 1
    Carlos 
    Zaragoza 
    left 
    his 
    home in 
    Casas 

    Grandes 
    when 
    the moon 
    was 
    full 

    No money 
    in 
    his pocket, 

    just a 
    locket 
    of his sister 
    framed 
    in gold 

    He rode 
    into 
    El 
    Sueco, stole 
    a rooster 

    called 
    Gallo 
    Del 
    Cielo 

    Then he 
    swam 
    the Rio 
    Grande 

    with that 
    fighter 
    nestled 

    Deep 
    beneath 
    his 
    arm. 

    Verse 2
    El 
    Gallo 
    Del 
    Cielo 
    was 
    rooster born 

    in 
    heaven 
    so 
    the 
    le
    gends 
    say 

    His 
    wings 
    they 
    had 
    been 
    broken, 

    he had 
    one 
    eye 

    Rollin' 
    crazy 
    in 
    his 
    head 

    And he'd fought 
    a hundred 
    fights, 

    and the 
    legends 
    say 

    That one 
    night 
    near 
    El 
    Sueco 

    They'd 
    fought 
    Gallo 
    seven 
    times, 

    and 
    seven 
    times 
    he'd 

    Left 
    brave 
    roosters 
    dead. 

    Verse 3
    Hola, 
    my 
    Theresa, 

    am 
    thinking 
    of 
    you now 
    in San 
    Anto
    nio 

    have 
    27 dol
    lars 
    and the 
    good 

    luck 
    of 
    your 
    picture 

    Framed 
    in 
    gold 

    To
    night 
    I'll 
    put 
    it all 
    on the 
    fighting 

    spurs 
    of 
    Gallo 
    Del 
    Cielo 

    And then I'll 
    return 
    to buy 

    the land 
    Villa 
    stole 

    From 
    father 
    long 
    ago. 

    Verse 4

    Outside 
    of San 
    Diego, 

    in the 
    onion 
    fields 
    of 
    Paco 
    Montever
    de 

    The 
    Pride 
    of San 
    Diego 
    lay 
    sleeping 

    on 
    a fancy 
    bed 
    of silk 

    And they 
    laughed 
    when 
    Zaragoza 

    pulled the 
    one- 
    eyed 

    Del 
    Cielo 
    from beneath 
    his 
    coat 

    But they 
    cried 
    when Zaragoza 

    walked 
    away 
    with 

    Thou
    sand 
    dollar 
    bill. 

    Verse 5
    Hola, 
    my 
    Theresa, 

    am 
    thinking 
    of 
    you 
    now 
    in Santa 
    Bar
    bara 

    I have 
    fifteen 
    hundred 
    dol
    lars 

    and the 
    good 
    luck 
    of 

    Your picture 
    framed 
    in 
    gold 

    To
    night 
    I'll 
    put it 
    all 
    on the 
    fighting 

    spurs 
    of 
    Gallo 
    Del 
    Cielo 

    And 
    then 
    I'll 
    return 
    to buy 

    the land 
    Villa 
    stole 

    From 
    father 
    long 
    ago. 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 6
    Now the 
    moon 
    has 
    gone 
    to 

    hiding 
    and the lantern 
    light 

    Spills 
    shadows 
    on 
    a fight
    ing 
    sand 

    Where 
    a wicked 
    black 
    named 
    Zorro faces 

    Gallo 
    del 
    Cielo 
    in the night 

    But 
    Carlos 
    Zaragoza 
    fears 
    the tiny 
    crack 

    that runs 
    across 
    his 
    rooster's 
    beak 

    And 
    he fears 
    he has 
    lost 
    the 
    fifty 
    thousand 

    dollars 
    riding 
    on 
    the fight

    Verse 7
    Hola, 
    my 
    Theresa, 

    am 
    thinking 
    of 
    you now 
    in Santa 
    Clara 

    Yes, 
    the money's 
    on the 
    table, 

    I am 
    holding 
    to 

    Your 
    good 
    luck 
    framed 
    in 
    gold 

    And 
    everything 
    we've 
    dreamed 
    of 
    is 

    riding 
    on 
    the spurs 
    of 
    Del 
    Cielo 

    I pray 
    that I'll 
    return 
    to buy 
    the land 

    Villa 
    stole 
    from 
    father 
    long 
    ago. 

    Verse 8

    Then 
    the signal 
    it 
    was given, 

    and the 
    cocks 
    rose 

    Together 
    far 
    above 
    the 
    sand 

    El 
    Gallo 
    del 
    Cielo 
    sunk 
    gaff 
    into 

    Zorro's shiny 
    breast 

    They 
    were separated 
    quickly 

    but 
    they rose 
    and 
    fought 

    Each 
    other 
    thirty 
    sev
    en 
    times 

    And the 
    le
    gends 
    say 
    that everyone 
    agreed 

    that 
    del 
    Cielo 
    fought 
    the best. 

    Verse 9

    Then 
    the screams 
    of 
    Zaragoza 

    filled 
    the night 
    outside 

    The town 
    of Santa 
    Clara 

    As 
    the 
    beak 
    of del 
    Cielo 
    lay broken 

    like 
    shell 
    within 
    his 
    hand 

    And 
    they say 
    that 
    Zaragoza 

    screamed 
    a curse 
    upon 
    the 

    Bones 
    of 
    Pancho 
    Villa 

    When 
    Zorro rose 
    up 
    one 
    last 

    time 
    and 
    drove 
    del 

    Cielo 
    through 
    the sand. 

    Verse 10
    Hola, 
    my 
    Theresa, 

    am 
    thinking 
    of 
    you 
    now 
    in 

    San 
    Fran
    cisco 

    I have 
    no 
    money 
    in my 
    pock
    et, 

    no 
    longer 
    have 

    Your 
    good 
    luck framed 
    in 
    gold 

    buried 
    it last 
    evening 
    with 

    the bones 
    of 
    my 

    Beloved 
    Del 
    Cielo 

    And 
    I'll not 
    return 
    to buy 

    the land 
    Villa 
    stole 
    from 

    Father 
    long 
    ago. 

    Verse 11
    Do the 
    rivers 
    still 
    run 
    muddy 

    outside 
    of my 
    beloved 

    Casas 
    Grandes? 

    Verse 12
    Oes 
    the scar 
    upon 
    my 
    brother's 

    face 
    turn 
    red 
    when 

    He hears 
    mention 
    of my 
    name? 

    Do the 
    people 
    of 
    El 
    Sueco curse 

    the 
    theft 
    of 
    Gallo 
    del 
    Cielo? 

    Well, 
    tell 
    my 
    family 
    not 
    to 
    worry, 

    will not 
    return 

    To cause 
    them 
    shame.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
