Sverre Nord I Verret

Han Sverre nord i verret
Bodde på det minste skjerret
Med en båt og en Bibel og ei kjerring av de tverre
Han va'ke av de derre
Som beklaga sæ, han Sverre:
" Nei, det e'ke berre berre,
Men det kunn' ha vorre verre.
Vorre verre," sa han Sverre

Det kunn' ha vorre verre vær i verret enn det herre
Verre vær i verret enn det herre
Det kunn' ha vorre verre
Vorre verre vær i verret enn det herre.

Han Sverre nord i verret rodde fiske hele året
En vinterdag sa sto han der med vann helt opp tell håret
Førr båten b'ynt a lekke,
Snart va hele båten vekke
Og det va'ke berre berre,
Men det kunn' ha vorre verre
Vorre verre, sa han Sverre

Det kunn' ha vorre verre vær i verret enn det herre
Verre vær i verret enn det herre
Det kunn' ha vorre verre
Vorre verre vær i verret enn det herre.

Så lå han der og kava og va klar tell å gå i grava
Men omsider ble han berga av en båt på vei mot sør.
Så ble han intervjua: "Va du redd og mista trua?"
" Nei, men æ kan ikke husk at æ na'n gang ha vorr' i så dårlig humør.
Det va'ke berre berre,
Det kunn' knaft ha vorre verre.
Vorre verre", sa han Sverre

Det kunn' ha vorre verre vær i verret enn det herre
Verre vær i verret enn det herre
Det kunn' ha vorre verre
Vorre verre vær i verret enn det herre.

Sverre Nord I Verret

He, Sverre up north in the worst weather,
Lived on the tiniest of skerries.
With a boat, a Bible, and a wife with a tongue sharper than a knife.
He wasn't one of those guys,
Who complained, this Sverre:
" Well, it's not all roses,
But it could be worse."
Could be worse," said Sverre

It could have been worse weather, worse weather than this, my dear.
Worse weather, worse weather than this.
It could have been worse
Could be worse weather, worse weather than this, my dear.

He, Sverre up north in the worst weather, fished all year round.
One winter day, there he stood, water up to his hair.
'Cause his boat started leaking,
Soon the whole boat was sinking
And it wasn't all roses,
But it could have been worse
Could be worse," said Sverre

It could have been worse weather, worse weather than this, my dear.
Worse weather, worse weather than this.
It could have been worse
Could be worse weather, worse weather than this, my dear.

So there he was, struggling, ready to give up the ghost.
But finally, he was rescued by a boat heading south.
So they interviewed him: "Were you scared, did you lose your faith?"
" Well, I can't remember ever being in such a bad mood.
It wasn't all roses,
It could hardly have been worse.
Could be worse", said Sverre

It could have been worse weather, worse weather than this, my dear.
Worse weather, worse weather than this.
It could have been worse
Could be worse weather, worse weather than this, my dear.
