Sou missioneiro, sou da terra do Bilia
Com permisso que eu sou cria dos que dançam vanerão
Sou missioneiro, raiz da terra vermelha
Batizado na vanera com uma gaita de botão
E de-lhe tchê vanera
De-lhe tchê, de-lhe vanera
De-lhe tchê, de-lhe vanera
De-lhe tchê, de-lhe vanera
Vai encolhendo a botonera que essa marca
Tem a taca do Tio Bilia gaiteiro
E de-lhe tchê vanera
De-lhe tchê, de-lhe vanera
De-lhe tchê, de-lhe vanera
De-lhe tchê, de-lhe vanera
Vai encolhendo a botonera que no meio da peoira
Vai bailando o missioneiro
Assim tocava o Tio Bilia, nesse trancão de vanera
A gente vinha na poeira, nas bailantas de fronteira
Como manda a tradição
Assim tocava o Tio Bilia, maestro da botonera
Uma estatua missioneira deste santo que alegrava
Os sete palmos das missões
De-lhe vaneira do Tio Bilia
Que o missioneiro vai até o clarear do dia
De-lhe vaneira do Tio Bilia
Na pombanera agarrado nas guria
De-lhe vaneira do Tio Bilia
Lá na figueira a gaita véia gemia
De-lhe vaneira do Tio Bilia
Serve uma canha que tá boa a cantoria
De-lhe vaneira do Tio Bilia
Toca mais uma pra nois com as tia
