Becarac

Ej, suska riba kraj vrbe u ritu
ej, sokice su najlipse na svitu

Ej, kceri moja, udaj se za sokca
ej, bit ce kuca puna praznih boca

Ej, konji traze prid mijanom trave
ej, Baranjci su pijandure prave

Ej, kceri moja, pecarosa nadji
ej, cili zivot provest ces na ladji

Ej, pitaju me di zividu sokci
ej, izmedj' Drave, Dunava i Save

Ej, komad Srema i komad Madjarske
ej, malo Backe i pola Hrvatske
