Boi, boi, boi
Boi da cara preta
Pega essa criança
Que tem medo de careta
Boi, boi, boi
Boi da cara preta
Pega essa criança
Que tem medo de careta
Eu não chorei, porque não sei chorar
Nem reclamei, porque não sou de reclamar
Só exaltei, Eneida, amor e fantasia
Cantei entrudo, Zé Pereira, o rei da folia
Boi, boi, boi
Boi da cara preta
Pega essa criança
Que tem medo de careta
Limoeiro é limoeiro
Uma flor é uma flor
Batuqueiro é batuqueiro
Cantador é cantador
Vela inteira não me ilumina
Cotoco de vela quer me iluminar
Chuva grossa não me molha
Sereno quer me molhar
Meu senhor
Eu não chorei, porque não sei chorar
Nem reclamei, porque não sou de reclamar
Só exaltei, Eneida, amor e fantasia
Cantei tudo, Zé Pereira, o rei da folia
Boi, boi, boi
Boi da cara preta
Pega essa criança
Que tem medo de careta
