O João de Barro, pra ser feliz como eu
Certo dia resolveu arranjar uma companheira
No vai-e-vem, com o barro da biquinha
Ele fez sua casinha, lá no galho da paineira
Toda manhã, o pedreiro da floresta
Cantava fazendo festa pra aquela que tanto amava
Mas quando ele ia buscar o raminho
Pra construir seu ninho seu amor lhe enganava
Mas neste mundo, o mal feito é descoberto
João de Barro viu de perto sua esperança perdida
Cego de dor, trancou a porta da morada
Deixando lá a sua amada presa pro resto da vida
Que semelhança entre o nosso fadário
Só que eu fiz o contrário do que o João de Barro fez
Nosso senhor me deu força nessa hora
A ingrata eu pus pra fora, onde anda eu não sei.
