Muko moja, moj zivote

vinogradi kad se probude
ja u ruci drzim ruku njenu
ljubiti je jutrom najsladje
Ref. 2x
Muko moja, moj zivote
umrit cu ti od lipote
umrit cu ti od miline
od prkosa i od ponosa
U Baranji zazvonilo podne
celo brisu kosci i ratari
ja u hladu ljubim curu mladu
pazim da me ko god ne vidi
Ref. 2x
Slavonija usnula u zitu
sve je tiho k'o da ne dise
samo cura najlipsa na svitu
u narucju mome uzdise
Ref. 2x
