Deixei o chão do nordeste
Pra cantar por todo lado
Cantando de peito aberto
Mas tenho corpo fechado
Mandaram fazer pra mim
Um tal balaio de gato
Mas eu tenho um santo forte
Que até nó cego eu desato
Meu machado é de madeira
Derruba matas de aço
Todos inimigos fogem
Dos lugares onde passo
Eu ando em noite escura
Mas com Deus na minha frente
Piso em rubia de cobra
Mas ela esquece os dentes
Me esperaram de tocaia
Só a fim de me matar
Cão de guarda não latiu
E ninguém me viu passar
Me atiraram pelas costas
Nos sertão paraibano
Mas o revólver falhou
E correu água pelo cano
Foram até na Bahia
Apelar pro candomblé
Queriam me derrubar
Não cai, fiquei de pé
Esqueceram que só Deus
Que faz tudo e desfaz
Eles vivem pertubados
Mas eu vivo na santa paz
