Balladen om fredrik åkare


Vart är du på väg Fredrik åkare? Ingenstans, ingenstans

Då kan vi ta varann i hand och trä en lustig dans

För jag är ensam på min stig och ganska tveksam om

Vart denna dag mig bära skall och varifrån jag kom

Och varifrån jag kom

Käre Fredrik, sa jag, ge mig nu ett uppriktigt svar

Säg mig var är guldringen som du fordom alltid bar?

Nog hade jag en ring en gång, sa Fredrik, det är visst och sant

Den gick jag mig till stampen med och lämnade i pant

Och lämnade i pant

Fredrik, sa jag, det finns många som är pankare än du

Men svara mig nu uppriktigt vad säger din fru?

Nog hade jag en fru en gång, sa Fredrik, det är sant och visst

Men henne har jag skilts ifrån sen jag såg dig sist

Sen jag såg dig sist

Jag kommer, sade Fredrik, från en platts där sorgen bor

En kvalens sal, en vredens borg, ett advokatkontor

Där skrev jag på ett dokument och nu är allt förbi

Nu går jag mig mot ingenstans för nu är jag fri

För nu är jag fri

Jag har mistat allt jag hade i livets grottekvarn

Hon har tagit våra möbler, hon har tagit våra barn

Hon har tagit alla bilarna i mitt åkeri

Hon har tagit alltihopa, det ger jag tusan i

Det ger jag tusan i

Vart är du på väg broder Fredrik? Ingenstans, ingenstans

Jag går här på trottoaren som i dimma, som i trans

Jag har blivit hit förpassad för slarv och fylleri

Nu får det bära vart det vill men nu är jag fri

Ja nu är jag fri

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
