the lonely goatherd

Lyrics

high on a hill was a lonely goatherd, loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd, folks in a town that was quite remote heard, lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard, 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, men on a road with a load to tote heard, ooh, all men in the midst of a table d'hote heard, men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard, 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, one little girl in the pale pink coat heard, she yodeled back to the lonely goatherd, soon her mama with the gleaming gloat heard, what a duet for a girl and goatherd, lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hoo hoo, happy are they lay dee olay dee lee o, soon the duet will become a trio, odl lay ee, old lay ee, odl lay ee, odl lay ee, odl lay ee, old lay ee, odl lay ee
