The Lonely Goatherd

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd

Lay odl-lay odl-lay hee-hoo

Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd

Lay odl-lay odl-lay odl-loo

Folks in a town that was quite remote heard

Lay odl-lay odl-lay hee hoo

Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard

Lay odl-lay odl-lay odl-loo

O ho, lay-dee-odl-lee o, o ho lay-dee-odl-lay

O ho, lay-dee-odl-lee o, o ho lay-dee-odl-lay

A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard

Lay odl-lay odl-lay hee-hoo

Men on a road with a load to tote heard

Lay odl-lay odl-lay odl-loo

Men in the midst of a table d'hote heard

Lay odl-lay odl-lay hee-hoo

Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard

Lay odl-lay odl-lay odl-loo akekeke

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard

Lay odl-lay odl-lay hee-hoo

She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd

Lay odl-lay odl-lay odl-loo

Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard

Lay odl-lay odl-lay hee-hoo

What a duet for a girl and goatherd

Lay odl-lay odl-lay odl-loo

Ummm (ummm)

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard

Lay-de odl, lay-de odl, lay woo-woo

She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd

Lay-de odl, lay-de odl, lay-de odl-loo

Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard

Lay-de odl, lay-de odl, lay hmm hmm

Lay odl-lay odl-lay odl-loo

Lay-de odl, lay-de de

Soon the duet will become a trio

Lay-de odl-lay-de odl-lay odl-loo

Odl-lay ee, old-lay ee

Odl-lay odl-lay odl-lay
