Plovi ladja sva u suzama
ajda, ajda opajda
na jarbolu crna zastava
ajda, ajda opajda
Na zastavi sitno pise
kapi vina nema vise
ajda, ajda opajda
Popilo se da se spasi
da se bacva ne ukvasi
ajda, ajda opajda
Ref.
Ej, Marice ej, budi mi O.K.
budi dobra svom mornaru
ka sta su u kalendaru
svetog Duje andjeli
Mare mala kad se vratim ja
ajda, ajda opajda
zenit cu te, casna mornarska
ajda, ajda opajda
Ljubit cu te, Bog da prosti
stipat cu te od dragosti
cet'ri sina tebi dat cu
oba lipa na svog cacu
Ref.
Piva klapa ispod prozora
ajda, ajda opajda
mater ti je davno zaspala
ajda, ajda opajda
Spavaj i ti, nemoj mrdat
jer se neces za me udat
ajda, ajda opajda
Svi ti kuci, sivaj dotu
ja se vracam u subotu
ajda, ajda opajda
