The Lonely Goatherd
Maria & Children:
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd,
Layee odl, layee odl, layee-o
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl, layee odl-o

Folks in a town that was quite remote heard:
Layee odl, layee odl, layee-o.
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard:
Layee odl, layee odl, layee odl-o

O-ho laydee odl lee-o
O-ho laydee odl ay!
O-ho laydee odle lee-o
Hodl idl lee o-ay

A prince on the bridge of a castly moat heard:
Layee odl, layee odl, layee-o
Men on a road, with a load to tote, heard:
Layee odl, layee odl-o

Men in the midst of a table d'hot heard:
Layee odl, layee odl, layee-o
Men, drinking beer with the foam afloat heard:
Layee odl, Layee odl-o

O-ho layee odl lee-o
O-ho laydee odl ay
O-ho laydee odl lee-o
Hodl odl lee-o-ay

One little girl, in a pale pink coat heard:
Layee odl layee, layee odl layee-o
She yodled back to the lonely goatherd
Layee odl layee odl-o

Soon her ma-ma, with a gleaming gloat heard:
Layee odl, layee, odl layee-o
What a duet for a girl and goatherd:
Layee odl, layee odl-o

O-ho, laydee odl lee-o
Hodl odl lee o-ay
Happy are they,
Lay-lee o lay-ee lee-o
O lay-lee o lay-lee lay-ee-o

Soon the duet will become a trio
Layee odl, layee odl-o

Hodi layee
Hodi layee
Hodi layee
O-de lay-ee odl lee-e odl lay.
