Zé Dantas

O Nordeste inteirinho tá chorando
Sertanejo também entristeceu
Foi embora o poeta nordestino
Foi cumprir o seu destino
Traçado por nosso Deus
Traçado por nosso Deus
Foi Zé Dantas o poeta que o povo
Os seus versos musicados viu cantar
Esse povo que cantava, hoje chora
Porque ele foi embora
Para nunca mais voltar
Para nunca mais voltar
O seu nome na história vai ficar
Sertanejo não esquece o filho seu
Foi Zé Dantas que deu nome ao matuto
Que agora está de luto
Porque o poeta morreu
Porque o poeta morreu
