Ustala je, majka rano

pa po kuci nesto sprema
pita, sto si budan sina
kad jos zore nigde nema
Ref.
Zbog neverstva njenog, majko
nemam sna a noc me bije
otisla je iz zivota
al iz bolne duse, nije
Sa drugim ce ona, majko
da svadbeno kolo vije
bolelo me mnogo puta
al ovako nikad nije
Ref.
Zao mi je, sto ce ona
drugoj majci snaja biti
mozda zbog te zene, majko
ti se neces veseliti
mozda zbog te zene, majko
ja se necu ozeniti
Ref.
