Love hearing this song. It reminds me of my childhood with my Grandpa who was Swedish. He would sing this song to me in Swedish. I have the LP. It is a little scratchy but love listening to it.
My Dad use to sing this when I was a child. He played the accordian as he sang it. Sure brings back a lot of memories for me. Margaret (Peterson) Medland
My Dad was Swedish he would have loved to hear this song again. Unfortunately he passed in '91 at age 87, I especially like the Swedish version. Dad tried to teach me but he made a big mistake in waiting till I was a teenager. Never did learn to speak it but still love it just the same.
Thanks for uploading this. Enjoyed the pictures, too. My dad would sing this to us when he would try and put us to sleep. We were so fascinated hearing him sing in Swedish it only woke us up more to pay attention.
they used to come to the thorson homestead that we bought years later. stories. also, when arlene quam and i were in iceland 2004, there were some musicians at the pub one evening. i wondered if they might know this tune. they didnt speak english but i got my point across and they played and sang it.
this is just wonderful to listen to , this also brings fond memorys as my father sang this as well... thankyou from Paula D A Yooper from upper Michijan
ha Ole SLIM JIM from MINNEAPOLIS - Got the 45s on SOMA and the ALBUM also Just got the Album , Which I'm sure i have somewhere down in the Dungeon .. but I won't ever Find that thing in the tens of Thousands of Records Down there ... I found 2 of them a couple weeks ago Down there .. ;) .. Hahah .. ole Norwegians !! .. ( Lots of them up In FARGO )
I've been looking for this song in for a long time on the internet. I have had the record for at least 40 years, and have been looking to see if I could find the Norwegian words.
My husband is their nephew. His father, Herbert, also played with them at times. We would love to purchase any records from Slim Jim and Vagabond Kid. My email is lisaanniverson@aol.com.
Here's the original version right out of Skid row. I like the Slim Jim version also, more refined and with English version! ua-cam.com/video/1TPR3C_MTwY/v-deo.html

In 9th grade social studies this song, photos of my parents trip to Sweden and a written report got me a grade of 110/100
