Carcará, pega mata e come
Carcará não vai morrer de fome
Carcará, mais coragem do que homem
Carcará, pega mata e come
Carcará
Lá no sertão
É um bicho que avoa que nem avião
Ou é um pássaro malvado
que tem um bico volteado que nem gavião
Carcará quando vê roça queimada
Sai voando e cantando
Carcará vai fazer sua caçada
Carcará come inté cobra queimada
Mas quando chega o tempo da invernada
No sertão não tem mais roça queimada
Carcará mesmo assim não passa fome
Os "burrego" que nasce na baixada
Carcará, pega mata e come
Carcará não vai morrer de fome
Carcará, mais coragem do que homem
Carcará, pega mata e come
Carcará é malvado é valentão
É a águia de lá do meu sertão
Os "burrego" novinho não pode andar
Ele pega no imbigo inté matar Carcará
