No sertão de mato grosso numa viagem que eu fiz
Eu vi uma besta ruana, esta jóia eu cobicei
Avisei a peãozada e a boiada ali parei
Fui na casa da fazenda, com o fazendeiro eu falei
Ele veio lá de dentro, no negócio eu já puxei
Se quiser vendê a ruana da tropa é que mais gostei
Ele pediu cinco conto, puxei dos cobre e paguei
Botei o cabresto nela, comigo a besta eu levei.
No meio dessa viagem, a ruana eu adomei
Aqui no estado de são paulo, quando com a besta eu cheguei.
Deixei morena penando, no lugar onde eu passei
Pra eu dispor da ruana, muitos negócio enjeitei.
Chegando em santo anastácio, a boiada eu descansei
Por causa de uma morena, eu quase por lá fiquei
Interrompi a viagem e a morena eu namorei
Meu coração que era duro, com a morena me entreguei.
Na hora da despedida, a morena eu convidei
Pra viajá mais sossegado, a boiada eu embarquei
Na garupa da ruana, a morena eu carreguei
Chegando em botucatu, com a morena me casei.
