Velha da terra morena
Pensa que é já lua cheia
Vela que a onda condena
Feita em pedaços na areia
Saia rota subindo a estrada
Inda a noite rompendo vem
A mulher pega na braçada
De erva fresca supremo bem
Canta a rola numa ramada
Pela estrada vai a mulher
Meu senhor nesta caminhada
Nem m'alembra do amanhecer
Há quem viva sem dar por nada
Há quem morra sem tal saber
Velha ardida velha queimada
Vende a fruta se queres comer
À noitinha a mulher alcança
Quem lhe compra do seu manjar
Para dar à cabrinha mansa
Erva fresca da cor do mar
Na calçada uma mancha negra
Cobriu tudo e ali ficou
Anda, velha da saia preta
Flor que ao vento no chão tombou
No Inverno terás fartura
Da erva fora supremo bem
Canta rola tua amargura
Manhã moça ... nunca mais vem
