Thread Name: Song in Roughing It
Subject: Song in Roughing It
I'm reading Mark Twain's ROUGHING IT, and at one point he mentions a Swede who sings the same song repeatedly. The lyrics he cites mention “sister and his brother” and “the child in the grave with its mother,” but that's the extent of it. Anyone know the song?
