The Crna Legija, or Black Legion, was a fearsome Croat Elite Brigade, which consisted mainly of Bosniak and Croat refugees from eastern Bosnia, where the Chetniks carried some massacres and atrocities. This feeling of vendetta made the Legion become notable by the amount of massacres and cruelty against Chetniks (Serbs). After disbanded, many of the ex-Legionnaires still used the notorious black uniform.
It was leaded by Rafael Boban and Jure Francetić, this last one being considered by many a possible successor of the Poglavnik, dr. Ante Pavelić.
Francetić fell in battle crossing the Drina River (as portraied in the song), while Boban disappeared in 1945. Many thought he was murdered by partisans, while some versions suggest that he joined the Crusaders (Croatian post-war guerrilla determined to expel the partisans and rebuild the NDH), or fleed to the US, joining the US. Army and falling in battle against the communists in the Korea War

I'M NOT AN USTASHA, AND I SWEAR I'LL TRY SOME SERB SONGS, DON'T HATE ME :((((((

Lyrics:

Evo zore, evo dana
Evo Jure i Bobana!

Jure zove, Boban viče, evo mene Poglavniče
Na vrh gore Trebevića, u logoru Francetića

Jure zove, Boban viče,
Hej viteže Francetiću!

Tvoja bojna čuva Liku,
Biser zemlje, našu diku.

Na vrh gore Trebevića, u logoru Francetića
U logoru Jure sjedi, svojoj vojsci on besjedi

Oj ustaše braćo mila, duboka je voda Drina
Drinu ćemo pregaziti, a Srbiju zapaliti

Kad je Drinu pregazio, u nogu je ranjen bio
On ne viče aoj meni, već on kliče za dom spremni!

PS.: Thanks once again to comrade Zdravko. You are fucking awesome mate
