〈Chorus〉
Swede Hollow
Swede Hollow
I'm never leaving, never leaving Swede Hollow

〈Verse 1〉
They say I don't belong here, but this is all I've ever known
I was born on the ship crossing the great, wide ocean, this is my only home
They all watch us with suspicion while we're merely tryin' to survive
My family's feet on these muddy streets since 1875

〈Chorus〉
Swede Hollow
Swede Hollow
I'm never leaving, never leaving Swede Hollow

〈Verse 2〉
My papa works the brewery that casts a shadow from the hill
We depend on it to walk on rags and live our days in filth
But we pay our bills and we pay our rent, still we're treated like disease
Well, they can keep their bigotry---when I grow up, this valley will belong to me, yeah

〈Chorus〉
Swede Hollow
Swede Hollow
I'm never leaving, never leaving Swede Hollow
I'm never leaving, never leaving Swede Hollow
〈Bridge〉
In 1956, the city come and throw our people out
And I stand watchin' as they burn our homes to the ground
Now, I woulda been an old homeless woman if fate had not intervened
'Cause fever came and took my life back in 1923

〈Chorus〉
Swede Hollow
Swede Hollow
I'm never leaving, never leaving Swede Hollow

〈Outro〉
No, I'm never leaving, never leaving Swede Hollow
(Never leaving)
Whoa
Whoa, oh, ooh
