Eu já andei sem parar dezessete légua e meia
Pra ir num forró dançar,ai, ai, ai, ai, eu fui num
Forró dançar
Valeu a pena eu andar dezessete légua e meia
Pois rosinha tava lá, ai, ai, ai, ai, a rosinha tava
Lá
Cheguei no forró moído, em carne viva lapada
Mas logo fui socorrido tomando três talagada
E quando zé sanfoneiro gemeu no fole um baião
Dancei com rosa ao terreiro, roçando em meu coração
Dancei com rosa ao terreiro, roçando em meu coração
Ai, ai, ai que tentação
