Só não nasci de a cavalo
Mas me criei campo a fora
Pachola pelas coxilhas
Num gauderiar de xiru
Sentado num paysandu
Tinindo o aço da espora
E sempre que alço a perna
No ermo das madrugadas
Brilha um sol dentro da alma
E outro por entre as brumas
Se refletindo nas plumas
Das garças em revoada
Quero morrer campereando
Numa coxilha qualquer
Só pra seguir de a cavalo
Pra querencia derradeira
Porque minha alma campeira
Se nega subir de a pé
Já nasci pra ser campeiro
Sobre esta pampa dobrada
Com a rédea do Dom Cochanga
Debaixo dos meus arreios
Eu parto o Rio Grande ao meio
Levo o horizonte a trompada
O encontro pra beijar o sol
E a anca pra china lua
Eu só tenho um cavalo
De gauderiar na fronteira
Deixo esta alma campeira
Em outra alma xirua
Quero morrer campereando
Numa coxilha qualquer
Só pra seguir de a cavalo
Pra querência derradeira
Porque minha campeira
Se nega subir de a pé
