High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
(Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo)
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
(Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo)
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
(Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo)
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
(Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo)
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay
Ee odl lay
Hoo!
