Rei do Sertão
no romper da madrugada
fogo na chapada batizou seu nome
cangaceiro infame
matador do mal
Lei do Sertão
no seu tempo de criança
foi a vingança que marcou a sua sorte
que lhe trouxe a morte
e levou seu pessoal
Maria Bonita lhe tirou da solidão
dividiu sua vida
entre o sangue e a paixão
até morreu...
Virgulino, hoje tanta gente
lembra seu destino
desde a Ingazeiro donde foi menino
valente vaqueiro
cabra sanfoneiro, bandoleiro
Lê Lampião, traz a sua cabroeira
que hoje aqui tem feira
vem vender pro povo
volte aqui de novo
prá viver em paz
e traz seus irmãos
que o Sertão tá bem mudado
tá todo molhado e chove aqui na terra
acabou-se a guerra
vem plantar feijão bom...
