Preta véia tá rezando pro sinhozinho vivê,
meu sinhô São Benedito, venho pedi pra vancê,
Eu sou mãe de fio branco, vi o patrãozinho nascê,
Mãe Maria tá chorando, sinhô moço vai morrê.
Mãe Maria que tristeza vendo saí o caxão,
morreu sem vê preta véia, sinhô moço era tão bão.
Preta véia tá sozinha na triste separação,
meu sinhô console a mágoa deste pobre coração.
A mãe preta tá descrente, sinhô moço era seu bem,
da saudade que ela sente, ficô doente também.
Mãe Maria tá sozinha neste mundo sem ninguém,
Deus levou meu fio branco, preta véia vai também.
