Thread Name: Lyr Req: Scandinavian song Hilda
Subject: Lyr Req: Scandinavian song Hilda
Hi, Gang!... it has been since "Dinosaurs were King!'... since I was here at Mudcat... I've really got to get my life back, and step back and enjoy this great site again... I still entertain at Nursing Homes, and jam with friends who are mostly the Bluegrass or old Country types, but as I still am "Gary, of the Odd Song!" to them, I'd like to continue to come up with unusual songs that reflect my own heritage and interests....

There is an old Scandinavian dialect song that I sang in my youth, which I've long lost the lyrics and source for.... I can't find it by typing in "Hilda" lyrics on Google, it's not in DT, and I'm stumped.... however, in the past you've always come through in a pinch... If I can't find it here, it likely can't be found...

I only have one musical talent, that is I remember the melodies to just about every song I've ever heard, but without the lyrics written in front of me I'm woefully lacking. So, I can do it with your help... the piece I remember is:

"Hilda, oh Hilda, you are so grand"... and the singer asks her if she loves him, too....

the response is "Yah, sure you betcha, I surely love you!"

TAke care all!... thanks for any help!    Gary
