Milicu Stojan voleo
sve sto je imao prodao
da bi bogatoj Milici
zlatnu haljinu kupio

Stojan plati haljinu
i ode pravo na kapiju
Milica place, volim te
ne daj me drugom Stojane

Bogat nece Stojana
i puce puska tanana
pogodi lepu Milicu
prostreli srce Stojanu

Majka zakuka, uze haljinu
Stojana sa njom pokriva
i svoju kcerku jedinu

Bog ih sastavi
kroz suze majka iz usti
zagrli decu voljenu
za njima dusu ispusti
