Estrada De Canindé
Elba Ramalho Lyrics

Ai, ai, que bom
Que bom, que bom que é
Uma estrada e uma cabocla
Uma gente andando a pé
Ai, ai, que bom
Que bom, que bom que é
Uma estrada e a lua branca
No sertão de Canindé
Automóve lá nem se sabe
Se é homem ou se é muié

Quem é rico anda em burrico
Quem é pobre anda a pé
Mas o pobre vê nas estrada
O orvaio beijando as flor
Vê de perto o galo campina
Que quando canta muda de cor
Vai moiando os pé nos riacho
Que água fresca, nosso senhor
Vai oiando, coisa a granel
Coisas que pra mode ver
O cristão tem que andar a pé
