Enquanto na cenzala trabalhava o seu amor
Mãe preta embalava o filho branco do senhor
Pele encarquilhada carapinha branca
Gandôla de renda caindo na anca
Embalando o berço do filho do senhor
Que há pouco tempo a sinhá ganhou
Era assim que mãe preta fazia
Tratava todo o branco com muita alegria
Enquanto lá na cenzala pai Jão trabalhava
Mãe preta mais uma lágrima, enxugava
Mãe preta, mãe preta
