Tio André velho barqueiro
Preto velho, bonachão
Que cruzava pelo tempo
Manejando o varejão
Tio André velho barqueiro
Preto velho, bonachão
São Benedito costeiro
Das flardas do Rio Butuí
O respeito por teu nome
Há muito que eu aprendi
São Benedito costeiro
Das flardas do Rio Butuí
Em noite de lua clara
Escutava Tio André
Cantar versos de aporfia
Pras flores dos aguapé
Em noite de lua clara
Escutava Tio André
A força das tuas palavras
Só tu mesmo é que sabia
Conversava com os remos
Quando o rio embrabecia
A força das tuas palavras
Só tu mesmo é que sabia
Assim passou pelo tempo
Sem notar quando passou
O barco ficou na espera
Do dono que não voltou
Assim passou pelo tempo
Sem notar quando passou
Noite prateada de lua
Não dá peixe, mas é boa
Parece que o céu apeia
Pra garupa da canoa
Noite prateada de lua
Não dá peixe, mas é boa
