Hoje moro na cidade
Mas sou filho do sertão
A saudade lá da roça
Me aperta o coração
Eu deixei a minha terra
Pra esquecer uma paixão
Agora o meu consolo
É a viola do sertão
Parece que estou vendo
Lá distante no sertão
A minha velha mãezinha
Com um rosário na mão
Rezando e pedindo a Deus
Que me dê a proteção
Mãezinha, o meu consolo
É a viola do sertão
Hoje choro com saudade
Das festas de São João
Dos amigos catireiros
Que deixei lá no sertão
Saudade da moreninha
Que me fez ingratidão
Agora o meu consolo
É a viola do sertão
O caboclo sertanejo
É o esteio da nação
Aos amigos lá da roça
Ofereço esta canção
A Senhora Aparecida
Eu peço com devoção
Protegei o sertanejo
E a viola do sertão
