Estribillo:
1 Vos sos el Dios de los pobres,
el Dios humano y sencillo,
el Dios que suda en la calle,
el Dios de rostro curtido.
Por eso es que te hablo yo
así como habla mi pueblo,
porque sos el Dios obrero,
el Cristo trabajador.

1 Vos vas de la mano con mi gente;
luchás en el campo y la ciudad;
hacés fila allá en el campamento
para que te paguen tu jornal.
Vos comés raspado allá en el parque
con Eusebio, Pancho y Juan José;
y hasta protestás por el sirope
cuando no to le echan mucha miel. [Estribillo]

2 Yo te he visto en una pulpería
instalada en un caramanchel;
te he visto vendiendo lotería
sin que te avergúence ese papel.
Yo te he visto en las gasolineras
llenando las llantas de un camión,
y hasta patroleando carreteras
con guantes de cuero y overol. [Estribillo]
