Peguei o itapemirim e fui bater no tiete
Vixi maria gente, quanta gente estava ali
Atrás da terra santa prometida
São paulo que te deu guarida
E hoje é cada um por si
Amontoado no outro
Com o pé no pescoço
Um radinho de pilha
Cantando um xote de vilma
Que deixei a chorar
Com aperto no peito
Não tive outro jeito
Vendi o que tinha
Um saco de farinha
E um relógio mondaine
Mel cheguei na plataform
Já me deu um desespero
De ver tanto sonhador
Uns voltando para casa
Sem dinheiro, sem ter nada
Bem pior do que chegou
Valha-me deus, nossa senhora
Não tenho nada, nada agora
E o que me resta dessa vida
É a triste saudade do meu amor
