High on a hill was a lonely goatherd, lay odl lay odl lay hee hoo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd, lay odl lay odl loo
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Lay odl lay odl lay hee hoo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Lay odl lay odl loo...
Ho ho lady odlee ho, ho ho lady odl lay
Ho ho lady odl lee ho, lady odl lee ho lay
A prince on a bridge of a castle moat heard
Lay odl lay odl lay hee hoo
Men on a road with a load to tote heard
Lay odl lay odl loo
Men in the midst of a table d'hote heard
Lay odl lay odl lay hee hoo
Men drinking beer with a foam afloat heard
Lady odl lay odl loo...
Ho ho, lady odlee ho, ho ho lady odl lay
Ho ho lady odl lee ho, lady odl lee ho lay

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
Lay odl lay odl lay hee hoo
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd, lay odl lay odl loo
Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Lay odl lay odl lay hee hoo
What a duet for a girl and goatherd, lay odl aly odl loo

She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd, lay odl lay odl loo
Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
