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

Was quite remote heard

The goatherd's throat heard

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
