En blandning av olika emigrantvisor funna i arkivmaterial från Malung. 

Emigrantvisan

Grönan Lund

The source of this song is the great singer Back-Erik Daniel Ersson, 1874-1947, Västra Fors, Malung. 
The old man that taught Kristin this song was very careful with the intonation and said "again, again" until it was right. The text comes from the bible story about the ten virgins, a very common theme in folk art all over Europe.     

Hav trones lampa färdig

A cumulative song about a young person serving at a farm. Each year she/he gets rewarded with something; a hen, a rooster, a cow...  

This song is from Blekinge! Though - the song is widely spread and different versions are to be found in several European countries.
