High on a hill was a lonely goatherd   Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd   Folks in a town that was quite remote heard   Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard      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      A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard   Men on a road with a load to tote heard   Ooh, all men in the midst of a table d'hote heard   Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard      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      One little girl in the pale pink coat heard   She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd   Soon her mama with the gleaming gloat heard   What a duet for a girl and goatherd   Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hoo hoo      Happy are they lay dee olay dee lee o   Soon the duet will become a trio      Odl lay ee, old lay ee   Odl lay ee, odl lay ee   Odl lay ee, old lay ee   Odl lay ee
