No Cais Dourado da velha Bahia
Onde estava o capoeira
A Iaiá também se via
Juntos na feira ou na romaria
No banho de cachoeira
E também na pescaria
Dançavam juntos em todo fandango e festinha
E no reinado, contramestre e pastorinha
Cantavam laiá lalaiá iaiá
Nas festas do Alto do Gantois
Mas loucamente a Iaiá do Cais Dourado
Trocou seu amor ardente
Por um moço requintado
E foi se embora
Passear em barco a vela
Desfilando em carruagem
Já não era mais aquela
E o capoeira que era valente chorou
Até que um dia a mulata
Lá nos cais apareceu
E ao ver o seu capoeira para ele logo correu
Pediu guarida, mas o capoeira não deu
Desesperada, caiu no mundo a vagar
E o capoeira ficou com seu povo a cantar
lalaiá Iaiá
