about

Hultkläppen needed a blues

lyrics

There’s a wild fire spreading across
the pagan lands of Helsingland
A distant mem’ry of time gone by
is burning symbols in the sand
Just like the wife of Lot
turned into salt
I know no one can play a tune
Like the fiddler Abraham Hult

I traveled through Dalecarlia
Where ancient music I did hear
Cows were moaning, hens were chirping
Young ladies singing high and clear
The sounds did echo
Like the struck of a bolt
And I know no one can play a tune
Like the fiddler Abraham Hult

I went down to the infirmary
Where many people were constrained
To their beds, with holes carved into their heads
They didn’t follow the path that Jesus led
They held on to their violins
They would’t put ‘em in no vault.
And I know no one can play a tune
Like the fiddler Abraham Hult

I see poverty and depression
Behind every single cabin door
Men lying wasted and wounded
Women nursing children upon the floor
I ain’t here to condemn
Or to put any fault
But I know no one can play a tune
Like the fiddler Abraham Hult

I’m sitting drinking coffee
In the middle of a folk music festival
There’s people laughing, trading music
Like there never has been any judgement at all
Music never dies
And life is way too short
And I know no one can play a tune
Like the fiddler Abraham Hult
