Ivanova korita

pojila je vodom majka
bistrom vodom sa izvora
sa korita Ivanova
Ref.
Ne pomaze voda, majko
sa korita Ivanova
ni ljekari, ni travari
Ne pomaze voda, majko
sa korita Ivanova
lijek su mi, stara moja
medna usta Jovanova
Lijecili je svi ljekari
i vracare i travari
ali Anka cezne, vene
zbog ljubavi izgubljene
Ref.
Zaplakala stara majka
ozdraviti nece Anka
uvenuce zumbul plavi
umrijece od ljubavi
Ti ne placi, majko stara
lijepa Anka progovara
u snu mi se Jova javi
ozdravicu od ljubavi
Ref. 2x
