Botei o peito n’agua
Corri da gendarmeria
Que nem capincho acoado
Não era o que eu queria
Mas era primeira vez
Embaixo de tempo feio
O gendarme me tenteava
E eu cansado braceava
O rio que estava cheio
Deixei lá que o meu caíque
Com toda a mercadoria
Varei o rio a nado
Na escuridão e água fria
De repente do outro lado
Da barranca do Uruguai
Rasgou noite a dentro
Um eco de Sapucaí
Tudo que eu queria
Arranjar alguns trocados
Pra comprar um regalito
Pra quem estou encambichado
Não pude fazer o regalo
Perdi todo o contrabando
Corri toda madrugada
Voltei pra casa sem nada
Mas faceirote assoviando
Quando cheguei no meu rancho
Avistei a Manoela
A costeira me esperava
Debruçada na janela
Chibeiro estou te esperando
Com água quente na gamela
Tomamos banho juntinhos
Envolvidos em carinhos
Passei a noite com ela
