Gubbstöt har vi efter Leif Johansson, Gnesta, Södermanland. Som i sin tur har den efter Anita Hedlund, Malmköping, Södermanland. Anita har den efter Malmabygdspelmannen Bror Andersson från Malmköping som har hört den sjungas i sin barndom.
We have learned “Gubbstöt” from Leif Johansson, Gnesta, Södermanland. Leif has learned it from Anita Hedlund, Malmköping, Södermanland and Anita has learned it from Bror Andersson, Malmköping, who heard the melody sung as a child.
The song is about a boy without fiancée who has no joy in his young life until he buys a hand clover and finds joy in playing.
lyrics
En liten pojk som ingen fästmö har,
han inget roligt har i sina unga dar.
Han köper då ett handklaver så grant,
som betalt kontant så spelar han.
