La Cucaracha - Medium Level Traditional Melody

Here's a trumpet version of  "La Cucaracha", written in G major for B♭ instruments (F major for C instruments), and 4/4. I found in a book a 3/4 version and that didn't sound right, so I made this version.

"La Cucaracha" is a traditional Spanish folk song about a cockroach (la cucaracha literally translates to “the cockroach” in English) that loses one of its legs, making it difficult for the roach to get around. It is unknown when the song came about. It is also very popular in Latin America. In Mexico, it was performed widely during the Mexican Revolution.
