Catingueira, catingueira
diz o segredo que existe
que somente a catingueira
enfeita a paisagem triste
Catingueira se és feliz
não zombes nunca
deste teu contraste
segura tua raiz e pede a Deus
que ela nunca se gaste
Tão ressêca a imburana
a terra quente e rachada
o marmeleiro se enrama
mas não agüenta a queimada
sentindo como quem ama
a terra quente pede invernada
quanto mais seca a ribeira
a catingueira fica enfolharada
Catingueira se um vintém
puder se tornar um milhão
pede a Deus por quem não tem
prá cair chuva no chão
pois somente a catingueira
enfeita a seca lá no meu sertão
sertanejo não quer nada
vê na invernada a maior benção
