ARTIST: Rodgers and Hammerstein
TITLE: The Lonely Goatherd

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl, layeeo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Layee odl layee odloo
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 odloo

Oho laydee odl leeo, oho laydee odl lay
Oho laydee odl leeo, hodi odl leeoay

A prince on the bridge of the castle moat heard
Layee odl, layee odl, layeeo
Men on a road with a load to tote heard
Layee odl, layee odloo
Men in the midst of a table d'hote heard
Layee odl, layee odl, layeeo
Men drinkin' beer with the foam afloat heard
Layee odl, layee odloo
Oho laydee...

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
Layee odl, layee odl, layeeo
She yodled back to the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odloo
Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Layee odl, layee odl, layeeo
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
Layee odl, layee odloo
Oho laydee...

Happy are they
Laylee o layee leeo
O layle o laylee layeeo
Soon the duet will become a trio
Layee odl, layee odloo
Hodi layee, hodi layee, hodi layee
Ode layee odl lee-e odl lay
