THE LONELY GOATHERD

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 Now oh ho lay dee odle lee oh Oh ho lay dee odle ay Oh ho lay dee odle lee oh Lay dee odle lee oh lay A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard Men on a road with a load to tote heard Ooh, all of the men in the midst Of a table d'hote heard Men drinking Jacks with the foam afloat heard Oh ho lay dee odle lee oh Oh ho lay dee odle ay Oh ho lay dee odle lee oh Lay dee odle lee oh lay One little girl in a pale pink coat heard She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard What a duet for a girl and goatherd Lay ee odle lay ee odle oo Happy are they, lay dee oh, lay dee lee oh Soon the duet will become a trio Odle lay ee, odle lay ee Odle lay ee, odle lay ee Odle lay ee, odle lay ee Odle lay ee
