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
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
Happy are they lay dee olay dee lee o . . ., . . . yodeling . . .
Soon the duet will become a trio, Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
