Long long ago in old Wyoming lived a maid   Fair as the sweetest flower bloomin' in the shade   She loved a Bandit bold who roamed the Prairie o'er   And every night she'd listen for his call   Then far the west his voice came   Ringing ridin' wild horse he came singin'   Hee li oli yip ioli ay      Hee li oli yip ioli yip ay oli ay   He brings a token of his love   Swift as the wind he goes for high   And the hills he knows she's waiting   For his hee li oli yip ioli ay      One day he rode away but never to return   Danger was waitin' now his love must never yearn   Long days and lonely nights she waited all in vain   Till winter passed and summer came again   Still every night when the moon came shinin'   For his song her heart was pinin'   Hee li oli yip ioli ay      Hee li oli yip ioli yip ay oli ay   He brings a token of his love   Swift as the wind he goes for high   And the hills he knows she's waiting   For his hee li oli yip ioli ay      One night an angel brought a message from her love   Told her he waited in the starry sky above   Softly she closed her eyes and bade the angel go   And then the whole world echoed to his song   For straight down a moonbeam he came ridin' out of the sky   On a winged horse glidin'   Hee li oli yip ioli ay      Hee li oli yip ioli yip ay oli ay   He brings a token of his love   Swift as the wind he goes for high   And the hills he knows she's waiting   For his hee li oli yip ioli ay   Hee li oli yip ioli ay   Hee li oli yip ioli ay   Singin' hee li oli yip ioli ay
