The Lonely Goatherd piano leadsheet with chords
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 odlo.
Oho, laydee odlleeo, oho, laydee odl ay!
Oho, laydee odl leeo, hodlodlleeoay!
A prince on the bridge of a castle moat,
heard: layee odl, layee odl layeeo.
Men on a 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 odlleeo, oho, laydee odl ay!
Oho, laydee odl leeo, hodlodlleeoay!
A ay!
One little girl, in a pale pink coat,
heard: layee odl, layee odl layeeo.
She yodeled 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 leeo, oho, laydee odl ay!
Oho, laydee odl leeo hodlodl leeoay!
Happy are they, layee o layee leeo!
O laylee o laylee layeeo.
Soon the duet will become a trio,
layee odl, layee odlo.
Hodi layee Hodi layee
Hodi layee Ode layee odl leee odl lay.
