oko sedam sati
probudi me moja mila mati
moja mila mati
Ustaj sine, spavanja ti nema
spavanja ti nema
doslo vreme da se na put sprema
da se na put sprema
Na put spremam bijelu maramicu
bijelu maramicu
da ispratim tebe na stanicu
tebe na stanicu
Na stanici mene draga ceka
mene draga ceka
i u ruci drzi buket cvijeca
drzi buket cvijeca
Masinista pusti paru jace
pusti paru jace
da ne cujem kako draga place
kako draga place
Jedno jutro oko sedam sati
