Sucedio En La Barranca

Lyrics

Voy a cantar un corrido
Que traigo prendido
En el fondo de mi alma
Es la desgracia de un hombre
Que fue muy mi amigo
Y murio en la barranca

Era rival en amores
De un hombre muy macho
Que siempre ganó
Se disputaban a Rosa
La hembra más linda
De esta región

Se citaron la noche más negra
Y al barranco acudieron los dos
Eran las diez de la noche
En la vieja capilla
Que está en el panteón
Cuando sonaron los tiros
Y un hombre sin vida
Al barranco cayó

Yo por eso le canto a la vida
Yo por eso no creo en el amor
Eran las diez de la noche
En la vieja capilla
Que está en el panteón
Cuando sonaron los tiros
Y un hombre sin vida
Al barranco cayó

Jose Alfredo Jimenez
José Alfredo Jiménez (born January 9, 1926 in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, died November 23, 1973 in Mexico City, Mexico) was a Mexican singer-songwriter in the ranchera style.

His songs are considered part of the Mexican musical heritage and comparable, for instance, to what Woody Guthrie meant to American folk music.

He had no musical training—according to the singer Miguel Aceves Mejía, Jiménez didn't play an instrument and didn't even know the Spanish terms for "waltz" and "key". Nonetheless he composed more than 1000 songs. Among the most famous are Ella, Media Vuelta, El Rey, El Jinete, Si Nos Dejan, Amanecí Entre Tus Brazos, Cuando el Destino, El Caballo Blanco, Llegó Borracho el Borracho and Que Te Vaya Bonito, as well as Camino de Guanajuato, where he sang about his home state of Guanajuato as well as his home town of Dolores Hidalgo Guanajuato.

In addition to his own hit recordings, many of his songs have been recorded successfully by recording artists around the Spanish-speaking world, most notably by Pedro Infante, Rocío Durcal, Javier Solís, Pedro Fernández, Jorge Negrete, Vikki Carr, Luis Miguel, Lola Beltrán, Lucha Villa, Vicente Fernández and by spaniards Joaquín Sabina and Manolo García.
