Fui um dia a uma caçada
Ó Maria Rita, eras tão bonita!
Entrei na cevada, aveia!
Vi uma lebre deitada
Ó Maria Rita, eras tão bonita!
Com o pé alevantei-a!
Além vem a Maria Rita
Com o chapeuzinho ao lado
C'as calças de tiro-liro, casaca de pano
Chapéu desabado!
Meti a espingarda à cara
Ó Maria Rita, eras tão bonita!
Dei ao gatilho, matei-a!
Já vinha ferida doutro
Ó Maria Rita, eras tão bonita!
Não era minha, deixei-a!
Atirei um tiro à pomba
A pomba no ar voou
Ela ouço naquela roseira
E a maldita pomba sempre lá ficou!
