São benedito negreiro
Santo da pele escura
Contemplo a tua estatura
No universo santeiro
Vejo uma luz de candeeiro
Iluminando o dia
Pra sempre haver alegria
Quem quiser fazer bonito
Dê viva a são benedito
Protetor dessa folia
Ora viva, êee
São benedito era cozinheiro
Humilde e sem regalia
Era senhor e servia
Negrinho do pastoreio
Deus fez dele milagreiro
Curador da negraria
Por isso é que hoje em dia
Quem quiser fazer bonito
Dê viva a são benedito
Protetor dessa folia
Ora, viva! Êee
São benedito já era santo
Quando na terra vagava
Curava o povo que passava
Com o simples toque do seu manto
Por isso mesmo é que eu canto
Pra minha caboclaria
Se quiser ter poesia
Quem quiser fazer bonito
Dê viva a são benedito
Protetor dessa folia
Ora viva, êee
