Preto velho
Quando a sua sombra passa
Todo mundo faz chalaça
Dá vaia, debocha e ri
Sem saber que você, quanta saudade
Estragou a mocidade
Combatendo em Tuiutí
Ninguém sabe
Que você perdeu o braço
E arranjou este cansaço
Brigando em Humaitá
Quem me dera Preto-Velho
Que eu pudesse
Dar-lhe o que você merece
E que a vida não lhe dá
Preto-Velho
Que brigou no Paraguai
E agora, rolando vai
Pela vida, ao Deus dará
Quem me dera, Preto-Velho
Que eu pudesse
Dar-lhe o que você merece
E que a vida, não lhe dá
Preto- Velho tá cansado
De brigá no Paraguai
