Paraíba, Paraíba, rio bonito e encantado
Da famosa corredeira, da lagoa e do banhado
Esse rio é minha vida, onde eu mai tenho pescado
Na ceva das piabanha já fisguei inté dourado
Na beira do Paraíba fui nascido e fui criado
E nas água desse rio um dia fui batizado
No vale sou conhecido, pirangueiro afamado
Pesquei um dia a sereia, com quem eu tinha sonhado
Fui subindo rio acima, no meu bote sossegado
Sortei o remo na proa, dei a vorta no espraiado
Uma moça me chamou na barranca do outro lado
Travessei o rio sorteiro e pra cá vortei casado
Hoje eu vivo co'a Maria, minha fier companheira
No meu rancho de barrote, feito de sapé e madeira
Abraçado co'a morena passo quase hora inteira
Vendo as onda quando some, caindo na corredeira
Tua image milagrosa pelo céu foi escoída
No ventre da correnteza uma santa foi nascida
Padroeira do Brasil é de todo a mãe querida
Paraíba foi o berço da Senhora Aparecida
