Kraj Vrbasa sjedi momce

ceka djevojce, aman djevojce
haj, vjetric piri, dunja miri
noc je kao dan
Haj, mlado momce kraj Vrbasa
aman, prevario san
kraj momceta Doro pase
poigrava se, aman igra se
Haj, nogom kopa vodu pije
i prisluskuje
haj, a djevojka nit' dolazi
aman nit' porucuje
Pijetli zoru najavljuju
ptice pjevaju, aman pjevaju
haj, zora svice noc odmice
zvijezda nestaje
haj,mlado momce kraj Vrbasa
aman jos ne ustaje
Kroz grancice mjesec viri
pa mu govori,aman govori
haj, ustaj ustaj, mlado momce
sedlaj Doru svog
haj, svatovi ti odvedose
aman dragu za drugog
Kraj Vrbasa sjedi momce
