O João-de-barro
Pra ser feliz como eu
Certo dia ressorveu
Arranjá uma companheira
Num vai e vem
Com o barro da biquinha
Ele fez sua casinha
Lá no galho da paineira
Todas as manhãs
O pedreiro da floresta
Cantava fazendo festa
Pra aquela que tanto amava
Mas quando ele
Ia buscar o raminho
Para construir seu ninho
O seu amor lhe enganava
Mas neste mundo
O mal feito é descoberto
João-de-barro viu de perto
Sua esperança perdida
Cego de dor
Trancou a porta da morada
Deixando lá a sua amada
Presa pro resto da vida
Que semelhança
Entre o nosso fadário
Só que eu fiz o contrário
Do que o João-de-barro fez
Nosso Senhor
Me deu calma nesta hora
A ingrata eu pus pra fora
Pra onde anda eu não sei
