High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl lay-ee-oo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl-oo
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl lay-ee-oo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl-oo
O-ho laydee-o-dl-ee-o, o-ho laydee-o-dl-lay
O-ho laydee-o-dl-ee-o, laydee-o-dl-ee o-lay
A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl lay-ee-oo
Men on a road with a load to tote heard
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl-oo
Men in the midst of a table d'hote heard
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl lay-ee-oo
Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl-oo
One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl lay-ee-oo
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl-oo
Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl lay-ee-oo
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl-oo
Hmm-hm-hmm-hmmmm (hmm-hm-hmm-hmmmm)
O-dl-layee (o-dl-layee)
O-dl-lay-hee-hee (o-dl-lay-hee-hee)
O-dl-layee
Ah-ah-ah-ah, laydee-o-dl-lay-o
Oh-oh, laydee-o-dl-lay
Ah-ah-ah-ah, laydee-o-dl-lay-o
Laydee-o-dl-lay-o-lay
One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
Laydee-o-dl laydee-o-dl lay-woo-woo
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
Laydee-o-dl laydee-o-dl-oo
Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Laydee-o-dl laydee-o-dl lay-hmm-mmm
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl-oo
Happy are they laydee-o laydee-lee-o
O-laydee-o laydee laydee-o
Soon the duet will become a trio
Laydee-o-dl laydee-o-dl-oo
O-dl-layee
O-dl-layee (o-dl-layee)
O-dl-lay-hee-hee (o-dl-lay-hee-hee)
O-dl-layee
O-dl-lay o-dl-lay (o-dl-lay o-dl-lay)
O-dl-lay o-dl-lay (o-dl-lay o-dl-lay)
O-dl-lay o-dl-lay (o-dl-lay o-dl-lay)
Layee-o-dl layee-o-dl-lay
Woah!
