Se despediu da família
Sorrindo sem alegria
Assubiu no caminhão
Dizendo adeus num inté logo
Sofrendo peito sem ódio
Acenou com uma mão
E se foi estrada afora
Como todo pau de arara
Em busca de emprego
Foi prás bandas do sul
Com uma turma da ribeira
Cortar cana açucareira
Pra ganhar o pão
Uma "quaquinha" nas costas
Uma foice na mão
Chapéu sambado de palha
De pé descalço no chão
Cigarro de corda no bico
Uma velha roupa rasgada
Farinha seca no bucho
Caminha pela estrada
Cortador de cana
Prepara o foice pra guerra
Mostra o valor destas terras
De homem cabra danado
Cortador de cana
Orgulho de uma família
Braço forte maravilha
Desta usina da gente
