Bruce Springsteen performed the song in Portland , Oregon a few months after the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens as a tribute during The River Tour . In 1951 , Swedish revue group Flickery Flies with Brita Borg recorded a Swedish version . This was during a time of collaboration with showbiz impresario and songwriter Povel Ramel who in a revue paraphrased it as '' Högt uppe på berget , jag har till en vän , förlorat en femma , jag lär nog aldrig se den utigen '' ( High up on the mountain , I have to a friend , lost a 5 kronor bill , I doubt I 'll see it again )
