Ten thousand Swedes went through the weeds
Chasing one Norwegian.

Can anyone tell me what this is all about? Does it have to do with
Norwegian independence from the Swedish kingdom in ?1895?

Thank you. "Tack so mycket".

My grandfather's second verse went like this -

10,000 more were held at the door
by one Norwegian whore

It was mixed marriage (swede and Norwegian, some of the arguments were interesting . . .
