Estava preso no xadrez
Quando ouvi a notícia
Que a minha sentença
Era um ano e seis meses
Estava preso no xadrez
Quando ouvi a notícia
Que a minha sentença
Era um ano e seis meses
Mas eu chorei
Como eu chorava
Pensando naquela pretinha
Que eu tanto amava
Todo domingo ela vinha
De tarde pressa me visitar
Botava a boquinha na grade
Para me beijar
Todo domingo ela vinha
De tarde pressa me visitar
Botava a boquinha na grade
Para me beijar
Oh meu Deus
Como é doloroso
Sentar no banco dos réus
Sem ser criminoso
Oh meu Deus
Como é doloroso
Sentar no banco dos réus
Sem ser criminoso
De manhãzinha
Quando o carcereiro
Vinha me dizer
Prisioneiro Zé é você
Acorda que a navalha vem te ver
