"The Tracalera"*

Please remember! This translation is my personal work. It is sometimes difficult to translate word for from Spanish to English, so it may sound awkward in one languange when it is perfectly natural in the other. But I think you can get the general idea!

*tracalera in Mexico can mean delinquent in
who moves from place to place looking for work.
I left Corpus I didn't pay the rent
In San I found myself with another bill
Over there in the valley the from the car
(company) looking for me
They were red because they never found me

At midnight I out for Laredo
But even I couldn't find a hideout
In Austin I found out that my were
for me
It had been some time that I
even send them five

is why they now call me Tracalera
All Texas, they don't let me rest
see if in Houston, I can earn some money
And I'll to pay them even though it means
I don't

There in I found myself a man
"Come out to Waco, I've got some cash"
But the law was out for him
The next day they caught him contraband

There in the police stopped me
for a few (forged) checks and a fine I owed
I called out to the (home),
I want to to my sister, but
she's sleeping, and my niece the phone

That is why they now call me
All over Texas, they let me rest
Let's see if in Houston, I can earn money
And I'll come to pay even though it means
I sleep.
