The purpose of this article is to investigate the constitution of the discursive ethos in the country music lyrics of Ferreirinha, written in 1950 by Adauto Ezequiel, also known as Carreirinho. Based on the theoretical and methodological support of the discourse analysis, more specifically Maingueneau's assumption, we have conceived the discursive ethos as an effective and interactive category of analysis, since it is associated to the subjects' accession process to a given opinion. The results reveal that the discourse of the analyzed country music lyrics unveils a discursive ethos based in socially validated values and stereotypes, especially by rural migrants living in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil
