Prilikom Tinova višemjesečnog boravka u Krivodolu njegov nećak Jozo bio je star oko godinu dana (rođen u siječnju 1925.), pa je moguće da su stihovi Uspavanke „baš njemu govoreni“.

Ivan Ujević, Tin Ujević’s father and one of the first teachers in Imotski, was born in this house. He worked in Lokvičići, Vrgorac, Imotski, Makarska and Split. The family would come to Krivodol by carriage. Tin’s youngest sister Klara Tina was born here. Tin used to visit his father’s home in his early years. He lived there during his schooling in Imotski and during “the one hundred days in Imotski and Krivodol” and he visited his hometown in the years after. Tin’s exile from Belgrade in 1925 was a journalistic sensation. Having found out in the news that Tin doesn’t have a place to stay, the head of the village Petar and Tin’s uncle Grgur sent a telegram to the authorities demanding to bring Tin to Krivodol where all his relatives were. In his later life, after his uncle’s death, Tin stays in touch with his nephew Josip Jozo who inherited the house. Jozo wrote to Tin for the first time when he was still a boy. About this, he says: “Since I was a good student, my neighbours had persuaded me to ask Tin for help with my further education. I accepted gladly. I knew that he was in Sarajevo in those years, in the1930s. But nobody knew the address. I addressed the letter simply with Tin’s name and surname and the city of Sarajevo. The letter found its receiver after all. I asked him to help me to become a teacher. He responded quickly. It’s interesting how Tin addressed his letter: to Josip, son of Dominik, son of Grgo Ujević – Krivodol. His response was strange. He wrote: I do not know that kind of organization.”

During Tin’s few-month stay in Krivodol his nephew Jozo was about one year old (he was born in January 1925) so it is possible that the verses of Uspavanka (Lullaby) were dedicated to him.
