Apesar de não possuir grande beleza
Xica da Silva surgiu no seio da mais alta nobreza
O contratador João Fernandes de Oliveira
A comprou para ser a sua companheira
E a mulata que era escrava
Sentiu forte transformação
Trocando o gemido da senzala
Pela fidalguia do salão
Com a influência e o poder do seu amor
Que superou a barreira da cor
Francisca da Silva, do cativeiro zombou
Ôôôôô ôôô, ôô, ôô
No Arraial do Tijuco
Lá no Estado de Minas
Hoje lendária cidade
Seu lindo nome é Diamantina
Onde nasceu a Xica que manda
Deslumbrando a sociedade
Com o orgulho e o capricho da mulata
Importante, majestosa e invejada
Para que a vida lhe tornasse mais bela
João Fernandes de Oliveira
Mandou construir um vasto lago
E uma belíssima galera
E uma riquíssima liteira para conduzi-la
Quando ela ia assistir à missa na capela
