The song is "Oleana" -- a critique of Ole Bull's colony in USA -- with lyrics by Ditmar Meidell. Meidell put his words to a melody known as "Rio Janeiro"" and Theodore C. Blegen included the song in his 1936 book, Norwegian Emigrant Songs and Ballads. The tune was popularized by American folk singer Pete Seeger.
