Hercegovci

zaputit se pr'o Cemerna
u junacko Gacko doci
Nevesinju slavnom poci
Ref.
Gdje najvise sunca ima
i najbolja loza radja
Hercegovci zive ljuti
a kamena zedan cuti
Preko Bara Ljubovica
glas se cuje s Berkovica
to sa pjesmom ljudi rade
oj, Ljubinje, mali grade
Ref.
Kroz Popovo gazim cestu
Ducicevom rodnom mjestu
da posjetim crkvu finu
Gracanicu u Trebinju
Ref.
U povratku pr'o Bilece
zapalicu njemu svijece
tu vojvoda Rade spava
na svemu mu, brate, hvala
Ref.
