Preto velho
Quando a tua sombra passa
Todo mundo faz chalaça
Dá vaia, debocha e ri
Sem saber que você
Quanta saudade
Estragou a mocidade
Combatendo em Tuiutí
Ninguém sabe que você perdeu o braço
E arranjou esse cansaço
Brigando em Humaitá
Quem me dera preto velho
Que eu pudesse
Dar-lhe o que você merece
E a vida não lhe dá
Preto velho que brigou no Paraguai
E agora rolando vai
Pela vida ao Deus dará
Quem me dera preto velho
Que eu pudesse
Dar-lhe o que você merece
E a vida não lhe dá
Quem me dera preto velho
Que eu pudesse
Dar-lhe o que você merece
E a vida não lhe dá
Preto velho está cansado
De brigar no Paraguai
