High on a hill was a lonely Goatherd, lay-odd lay-odd lay-odd lay-oo-hoo! Loud was the voice of the lonely Goatherd, lay-odd lay-odd lay-oo-loo! Folks in a town that was quite remote heard lay-odd lay-odd lay-odd lay-oo-hoo! The steam clear from the Goatherd's throat heard lay-odd lay-odd lay-oo-loo! Ho! Ho! Lay-odd lay-odd ho! Ho! Ho! Lay-odd lay! Ho! Ho! Lay-odd lay-odd ho! Lay-odd lay-odd lay! A prince on the bridge of a castle moaned heard lay-odd lay-odd lay-oo-hoo! Men on a road with a load to tow'd heard lay-odd lay-odd lay-oo-hoo! Men in the midst of a toffle-dough'd heard lay-odd lay-odd lay-oo-hoo! Men drinking beer with a foam afloat heard lay-odd lay-odd lay-oo-hoo! One little girl in a pale pink coat heard lay-odd lay-odd lay-oo-hoo! She yodeled back to the lowly Goatherd lay-odd lay-odd lay-oo-loo! Soon her mama with a gleaming glow'd heard lay-odd lay-odd lay-oo-hoo!
