The Lonely Goatherd - 1959 - The Sound of Music

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 18 Nov 2001

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd,
layee odl, layee odl layeeo.
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd,
layee odl, layee odlo.

Folks in a town that was quite remote,
heard: layee odl, layee odl layeeo.
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat
heard: layee odl, layee odl layeeo.

Oho, laydee odl eeo, Oho, laydee odlay!
Oho, laydee odl eeo, hodlodlleeoay!

A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard:
layee odl, layee odl layeeo.
Men on the road, with a load to tote heard:
layee odl, layee odlo.

Men, in the midst of a table d'hôte heard:
layee odl, layee odl layeeo.
Men, drinking beer with the foam afloat, heard:
layee odl, layee odlo.

Oho, laydee odl eeo, Oho, laydee odlay!
Oho, laydee odl eeo, hodlodlleeoay!

One little girl, in a pale pink coat, heard:
layee odl, layee odl layeeo.
She yodled back to the lonely goatherd,
layee odl, layee odlo.

Soon her mama, with a gleaming gloat, heard:
layee odl, layee odl layeeo.
What a duet for a girl and goatherd:
layee odl, layee odlo.

Oho, laydee odl eeo, Oho, laydee odlay!
Oho, laydee odl eeo, hodlodlleeoay!

Happy are they, laylee O layee leeo!
O layee o laylee o layee o.

Soon a duet will become a trio,
layee odl, layee odlo.

Hodi layee, Hodi layee, Hodi layee.
Ode layee odl leee odl lay.
