Velhas canções vem guardadas
Dentro da minha viola
E quando a pego nos braços
As minhas magoas consola
Repinicando as primas
Em contra ponto à cordeona
Cada vez que pego nela
Uma morena se apaixona
(Chora viola, nos braços de quem te afaga
Me faz lembrar da morena que deixei lá em Sorocaba)
Guardo a viola pendurada lá num prego da parede
Quando ouço a passarada de tocar-te tenho sede
Me fazes lembrar do tempo de biriva e de tropeiro
Do Rio Grande a Sorocaba cortando chão brasileiro
(Chora viola, nos braços de quem te afaga
Me faz lembrar da morena que deixei lá em Sorocaba)
