Engenho velho gemedor
Foste o grande pioneiro
Se o espírito não me angana
Tu moía toda cana
Que trazia o cambiteiro
De uma légua de distância
A gente já escutava
O aboio do vaqueiro
O estalo do chicote
Que tangia o magote
De boi gordo e tão faceiro
Engenho velho pra você
Ainda tiro meu chapéu
Eu me lembro da doçura
Do sabor da rapadura
Da garapa e do teu mel
Hoje passando em teu terreiro
Oh!
Meu velho pioneiro
Que saudade que me deu
As moendas enferrujando
A madeira se rachando
E teu destino é igual ao meu
