Herr Holger (Sir Holger) is a Swedish folk ballad. Sir Holger, the tax official, was greedy and corrupt, pocketing money for himself. As punishment, he is beheaded by King Kristian. He is damned to hell for all eternity as punishment for his sins. He appears as a ghoul to his widow, Lady Tala, in a dream one night. He warns her that unless she returns his ill-gotten gains to their rightful owners, she too may end up in hell. Lady Tala, however, refuses to, saying she would rather end up in hell than surrender her wealth. The Swedish band Garmarna released a rendition of this song as a single in 1996.
