Swede Hollow
Way down, way down in Swede Hollow
Way down, way down in Swede Hollow
The poor folks know it takes grace to forgive
When you’re down in the Hollow you’ve got no chance to live
Up on the hill over lookin’ the Hollow
In a mansion perched over lookin’ the Hollow
The beer man looks down on his workers below
Keep ‘em poor and hungry while the beer and the money flow
Poor folks come and wind up in the Hollow
Brewing beer & drowning in their sorrow
Travel thousands of miles but things never change
The rich man’s on top that’s the way that the game’s arranged
Look up, look up from the Hollow
Look up, look up from the Hollow
The beer man toasts his success with a glass of wine
Lookin’ out o’er the Hollow where the sun refuses to shine
Way down, way down in Swede Hollow
Way down, way down in Swede Hollow
The poor folks know it takes grace to forgive
When you’re down in the Hollow you’ve got no chance to live
Way down, way down in Swede Hollow
Way down, way down in Swede Hollow
The poor folks know it takes grace to forgive
When you’re down in the Hollow you’ve got no chance to live
Up on the hill over lookin’ the Hollow
In a mansion perched over lookin’ the Hollow
The beer man looks down on his workers below
Keep ‘em poor and hungry while the beer and the money flow
Poor folks come and wind up in the Hollow
Brewing beer & drowning in their sorrow
Travel thousands of miles but things never change
The rich man’s on top that’s the way that the game’s arranged
Look up, look up from the Hollow
Look up, look up from the Hollow
The beer man toasts his success with a glass of wine
Lookin’ out o’er the Hollow where the sun refuses to shine
Way down, way down in Swede Hollow
Way down, way down in Swede Hollow
The poor folks know it takes grace to forgive
When you’re down in the Hollow you’ve got no chance to live
