\n<\/strong>
\nRobert <\/strong>
\nWe always swore we’d stick together
\nin America \u2013 remember that?<\/p>\n

Arvid <\/strong>
\nIt was a solemn promise!<\/p>\n

Robert <\/strong>
\nThen I will tell you all about my secret plan
\nWe’re heading West to dig for gold in California<\/p>\n

Arvid <\/strong>
\nAnd you want me to come along<\/p>\n

Robert<\/strong>
\nAnd when we’ve dug our fill
\nwe’re going home again
\nto build a mansion where we’ll
\nLive like country squires!<\/p>\n

Robert & Arvid<\/strong>
\nThere’s no farmhand who’s done that before<\/p>\n

Arvid <\/strong>
\nStill and all it’s pleasant here,
\nWhy be in such a hurry<\/p>\n

Robert <\/strong>
\nThink of all the poor old wretches
\nThat we left behind us<\/p>\n

Arvid <\/strong>
\nThey slave all their life for a pittance
\nThey’re treated like swine and
\nthey sleep in a sty
\nWhere they scuffle for
\ncrumbs till the day that they die<\/p>\n

Robert <\/strong>
\nNo, we mustn’t end up as paupers
\n
\nRobert & Arvid <\/strong>
\nOur future is in California and waiting
\nout there is a bright shining mountain of gold<\/p>\n

Robert<\/strong>
\nIt knows we are coming<\/p>\n

Arvid <\/strong>
\nYes, I hear it calling<\/p>\n

Robert <\/strong>
\nThe sooner, the better<\/p>\n

Robert & Arvid<\/strong>
\nWe’re on our way<\/p>\n

Karl Oskar<\/strong>
\nThe pitiless fight for survival out there
\nWould be fatal for you and your
\nwhims can only lead to disasters<\/p>\n

Robert <\/strong>
\nDon’t you see that scratching for gold
\nWill be heaven. For one who has
\nworked for the wickedest of masters<\/p>\n

Karl Oskar <\/strong>
\nYou’re too young to make it
\nJust eighteen, remember!<\/p>\n

Robert<\/strong>
\nAt fourteen – remember!
\nYou knew exactly where you were heading<\/p>\n

Karl Oskar <\/strong>
\nThat was back at home, things were different in Sweden<\/p>\n

Robert<\/strong>
\nNo older than fourteen, you seem to be forgetting<\/p>\n

Karl Oskar <\/strong>
\nAs a child you went reaching for rainbows,
\nI see that you still do<\/p>\n

Robert <\/strong>
\nAll the rich men out in California piss into
\npots made of gold
\n
\nKarl Oskar <\/strong>
\nEvery word a lie. And so typical of you!<\/p>\n

Robert <\/strong>
\nThey all dawdle about night and day; without shame, so I’m told!
\n
\nKarl Oskar <\/strong>
\nSo you think you just pick up a
\nspade and your fortune will be made<\/p>\n

Robert<\/strong>
\nAnd when I return I’ll share it with you fairly
\n– The brotherly way!
\n
\nKarl Oskar<\/strong>
\nWell, you mark my words
\nYou’ll regret your escapade
\n
\nRobert & Arvid <\/strong>
\nThere is nothing to add
\nWe are leaving whatever you say<\/p>\n
