The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nego não cantava não,
Canto de nego é mandinga,
Nego não chorava não,
Choro de nego é suor,
Nego não rezava não,
Reza de nego é função,
Nego não amava não
Amor de nego é perdição.
Que é que nego fazia ?
Tirava da terra fria,
Dia e noite, noite e dia,
Algodão, mais algodão,
Ai, sai o branco,
De onde vem os agasalho,
Pra frieza dos reumatismo,
Pras manias da Sinhá,
De onde vem os lenço branco,
Pra Sinhá moça chorá,
De onde vem os pano preto
Pro Sinhô véiomorrê,
E os pano das bandeira,
Pros sordadoguerreá,
De onde vem as renda branca,
Pra fazê os enchová
Nego véio trabaiô,
Dia e noite, noite e dia,
Tirando da terra fria
Algodão mais algodão,
Pra Nhô branco sêdotô
"E você, Preto Velho,
O que foi que ganhou?"
Eu consegui essa cabeça branca,
Branca como o algodão,
Que Preto véio prantô
