Naquele tempo em que você era pobre
Eu vivia como um nobre
A gastar meu vil metal
E por minha vontade
Você foi para a cidade
Esquecendo a solidão
E a miséria daquele barracão
Tudo passou tão depressa
Fiquei sem nada de meu
Esquecendo a promessa
Você me esqueceu
E partiu com o primeiro que apareceu
Não querendo ser pobre como eu
E hoje em dia
Quando por mim você passa
Bebo mais uma cachaça
Com meu último tostão
Pra esquecer a desgraça
Tiro mais uma fumaça
Do cigarro que filei
De um ex-amigo que outrora
Sustentei!
