Pokraj puta rodila jabuka

rodila je biserom i zlatom
Siv' joj sokol grane polomio
gledajuci u goru zelenu
(2x)
Gledajuci u goru zelenu
gdje dva brata lova lovijahu
Ulovili srnu i kosutu
ulovili, pod prsten djevojku
(2x)
Mladji bratac starijem govori
hajde, brate lova da dijelimo
Tebi brate, srna i kosuta
meni brate, pod prsten djevojka
(2x)
Pokraj puta rodila jabuka
