Date Created/Published: Mexico City : Antonio Vanegas Arroyo, 1915.
Summary: Broadside shows full-length figure of a simply dressed woman with a shawl around her shoulders and hands on her hips. The song conveys the story of la cucaracha. Cucaracha literally means cockroach, but during the Mexican Revolution this term was synonymous with 'camp follower' and referred to women who would follow and live with their male partners in the war camps. The song further explains the hardships of camp life: no starch, no ironed clothes, no money, no soap. In the city, la cucaracha does not do well either, she no longer has money to go out to the bullring.
