Oj, Milose pobrate mi mijo
jesil' skoro u Glamocu bio
(2x)

Jesam brate u Glamoc isao
i staru ti majku obisao
(2x)

Obis'o sam polja i brdine
od Kupresa do Sator planine
(2x)

Sve su njive brate uzorane
samo njesu tvoje stare mame
(2x)

Ni livada nije pokosena
kosa ceka a kosaca nema
(2x)

Tuzno drijema glamocka dolina
majka ceka da ugleda sina
(2x)
