Afinei a minha viola
Junto com meu companheiro
pra ir cantar num fandango
No meu estado mineiro
Pra cantar levei bom peito
Pra dançar bons catireiros, ai
Nós chegamos lá na festa
O povo estava esperando
Entramos acompanhados
Do senhor Otaviano
O povo batia palma
Eu quase pedia calma, ai
Nós começamos dançar
O recortado mineiro
Da sala foi pra cozinha
E findamos no terreiro
O salão estremecia
Com as palmas do catireiros, ai
Quando foi outro dia
Na hora da despedida
Deixamos as caboclinhas
Chorando com a partida
Deixando muitas saudades
Pra aquela gente querida, ai
