In the version of this song performed by Jason Boland and The Stragglers, instead of a Mexican guitar, the song consists of fiddles. As the singer introduces Zorro, the fiddles play softly in the background almost imitating the sound of a chicken clucking. Further into the song when Gallo del Cielo is killed, the song speaks of Saragosa screaming. The fiddle sounds like a weeping man who has lost everything he has. Not only do the words pack meaning, the background instruments convey a message.
