Take Me Home, Country Roads was written by John Denver in the early 70's but someone has just sent me a version sung in Swedish and about Bygdsiljum.
For those interested, the original song was included on his 1971 album Poems, Prayers and Promises (album cover to the right); the single went to #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and is considered the state anthem for West Virginia although it doesn't have official status.
The three state songs for West Virginia, in case you were interested, are The West Virginia Hills, This Is My West Virginia and West Virginia, My Home Sweet Home. All classics.
You can listen to the Swedish version of the song by clicking here. I'm not sure who performs it but I will investigate.
