Não tinha
Teto pra chamar de lar
Não tinha roupa bonita
Não tinha fita
Não tinha mais
Sorria
Com peso de um pesar
Sorria com a boca fria
De andar caía
Não ia em paz
Foi no bar e jogou
Tudo que tinha
Nem pôde contar
E Pai Chico avisou
Hoje cabeça do bicho não dá
Baita mandinga
Baita zica
Que é ruim de curar
Coisa tá pêga
Reza nega
Pra Iemanjá
Más n’outro dia tinha flor à beira mar
E se sorria, só sorria pro azar
E aquela azia mal fazia vomitar
E aquela azia mal fazia vomitar
Nem banho de fonte
Nem baixo de ponte
Bento quis ficar
Foi com os trapo do corpo
Com alma de morto
Danou-se a andar
E andou
Com sol em seu couro até dilacerar
Nem sangue escorria
O coitado sumia
Morreu devagar
E o povo no lamento
Dizia que Bento
Nem soube chorar
Pobre do Bento
