Amerikabrevet

Ja nå skal jeg skrive hjem til you
A little letters brev
For at prate om hvor very much jeg har
Men det er ganske lenge siden, you see
Jeg med pennen skrev
Så jeg håper at du understand forstår

Mange dager har flydd sin vei
Siden jeg fra Norge dro
Men jeg lover deg ennu my little friend
Men tross alt at du bedro meg
Og skeiet ut med en annen mann
Så skal jeg elske deg into my bitter end

Jeg er frisk og kry av helsen
Og jeg har det veldig bra
Og ikke for å skryte men jeg er rik
For jeg tjener very much med dollar
Hver en dag
Opp i Warner Jansons Factory Fabrikk

Det var sørgelig det jeg hørte
At din ektemann gikk to hell
Og at han ble skutt ned med en pistol
Og at han kom i bråk med degos
Da han gikk i land en kveld
Ja sånn går det til i staden Liverpool

Derfor tenkte jeg som så
At når det gamle nu er glemt
At jeg skulle ta og spørre deg og be
At du tok og reiste hit
Ja det er drømmen som jeg drømt
Og forresten så kan du ta din unge med

Men nu slutter jeg og håper
At du tar og skriver hit
Fortest mulig og adressen min den er
Mister Charles P Anderson
Six O Four B Main Street
Pearson City Indiana USA

American Letter

And now I'm going to write home to you
A little letters letter
To talk about how very much I have
But it's been quite a while since, you see
I wrote with a pen
So I hope you understand

Many days have flown by
Since I left Norway
But I still promise you, my little friend
But despite the fact that you deceived me
And got off with another man
So I will love you into my bitter end

I'm hale and hearty
And I'm doing very well
And not to brag, but I'm rich
Because I make very much with dollars
Every day
Up in Warner Janson's Factory

It was sad what I heard
That your husband went to hell
And that he was shot down with a gun
And that he got into trouble with the degoes
When he went ashore one night
That's how it goes in the city of Liverpool

Therefore I thought as so
That when the old is now forgotten
That I would ask you and beg
That you took and traveled here
Yes that is the dream that I dreamt
And by the way, you can bring your son

But now I'm ending and hoping
That you will write here
As soon as possible and my address is
Mister Charles P Anderson
Six O Four B Main Street
Pearson City Indiana USA
