Richard Rodgers
The Lonely Goatherd
[MARIA]
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl-oo
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Layee odl, layee odl-oo

Oho layee odllee-oo
Oho layee odl ay
Oho layee odllee-oo
Hododlleeolay

A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
Men on the road with a load to tote heard
Layee odl, layee odl-oo
Men in the mists of a chapel dote heard
Layee odl, layee odl-oo
Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo

Oho layee odllee-oo
Oho layee odl ay
Oho layee odllee-oo
Hododlleeolay
One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
Layee odl, layee odl-oo
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl-oo
Soon hеr mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
What a duet for a girl and goathеrd
Layee odl, layee odl-oo

Oho layee odllee-oo
Oho layee odl ay
Oho layee odllee-oo
Hododlleeolay

Hododlleeolay
Ode layee odllee-oo
Oh laydee-oo

Soon their duet will become a trio
Layee odl, layee odl layee
