Boca Do Balao /Sao Joao Na Estrada
Elba Ramalho Lyrics

Na cidade grande
Por mais que eu ande
Ainda me espanto

Quando ouço uma explosão
Lá no interior sempre era São João
Lá no interior sempre era São João
Viva São João
Meu carneirinho
Como te esperei

Ano inteirinho
Ao pé da fogueira
Madeira, velame
Que o nosso amor inflame a noite inteira
Rasteiro ou no chão
A gente se esquenta
E arrebenta a boca do balão
