The Lonely Goatherd Lyrics

 

(Maria)

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

 

(the Children)

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

 

(Maria)

A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo

 

(Kurt)

Men on a road with a load to tote heard

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

 

(the Children)

Men in the midst of a table d’hote heard

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo

 

(Maria)

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

 

(Brigitta)

She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

 

(Maria)

Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo

What a duet for a girl and goatherd

 

(Maria and the Children)

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Ummm (ummm) . . .

Odl lay ee (odl lay ee)

Odl lay hee hee (odl lay hee hee)

Odl lay ee . . .

. . . yodeling . . .

 

(Child)

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard

 

(Maria)

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hoo hoo

 

(Child)

She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd

 

(Maria)

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

 

(Maria)

Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloatherd

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hmm hmm

What a duet for a girl and goatherd

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

 

(Maria and the Children)

Happy are they lay dee olay dee lee o . . .

. . . yodeling . . .

Soon the duet will become a trio

 

(Maria)

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

 

(Maria and the Children)

Odl lay ee, old lay ee

Odl lay hee hee, odl lay ee

Odl lay odl lay, odl lay odl lee, odl lay odl lee

Odl lay odl lay odl lay

 

(the Children)

HOO
