Otis'o je otac moj
Kico Slabinac · Other Songs - Kico Slabinac
stari sesir visi pokraj vrata
i sto mati znala mi je reci
Bog je dao srce mu od zlata
Jos i danas cujem one rijeci
samo dobre Bog na kraju ceka
zato sine od svih mojih rijeci
nek' u srcu ostane bar neka
Ref.
Otis'o je otac moj polako
otis'o je stazom sto vijuga
pratile ga neke stare pjesme
sve do rijeke kojom tece tuga
Otis'o je pijetli kad se bude
kao da u setnju nekud krece
otis'o je s mirisima jutra
dal' je znao da se vratit nece
Rasulo se jutro kroz ravnicu
sve je tu, a njega nema vise
tuga usla tamburi kroz zicu
i k'o da su pjesme sada tise
Ref.
Otis'o je otac moj
