Maria, pobre Maria
Maria do Maranhão
Que vive por onde anda
E anda de pé no chão
Maria desceu escada
Atravessou o país
Procurava muito pouco
Muito pouco, ser feliz
Nem feliz queria ser
Que feliz não pode ser
Quem anda pelas estradas
Atravessando o país
Maria, pobre Maria
Maria do Maranhão
Que vive por onde anda
E anda de pé no chão
Maria seguiu estrada
A estrada de uma estrela
Maria não viu a estrela
Maria é só na estrada
Mas muita gente seguiu
A estrela que ela não viu
E vai dizer pra Maria
Que tudo tem solução
Até mesmo pra Maria
Maria do Maranhão
Que vive por onde anda
Que anda de pé no chão
