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-oo
O ho lay dee odl lee o, lay dee odl lee o odl-oo
A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay ah ah
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
Ummm
Odl lay ee
Odl lay hee hee
Odl lay ee
Ah ah ah ah
Lay ee odl lay ee odl
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Ah ah ah ah
Lay ee odl lay ee odl
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
O lay ee o lay ee odl
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
O Happy are they odl o lay dee lee o
O lay dee o lay dee lay ee o
Soon the duet will become a trio
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Odl lay ee, odl lay ee
Odl lay hee hee, odl lay ee
Odl lay odl lay, odl lay odl lay, odl lay odl lay
Odl lay odl lay odl lay
Hoo!
