High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Loud was the voice of
the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl oo
Folks in a town that
was quite remote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Lusty and clear from the
goatherd's throat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl oo
O ho lay dee odl lee o
O ho lay dee odl ay
O ho lay dee odl lee o
lay dee odl lee o lay
A prince on the bridge
of a castle moat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Men on a road with a load to tote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl oo
Men in the midst of a table d'hote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Men drinking beer with
the foam afloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl oo
Instrumental
One little girl in a
pale pink coat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl oo
Soon her Mama with a
gleaming gloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl oo
Instrumental

Odl lay ee . . .
