The Lonely Goatherd

(F)High on a hill was a lonely goatherd,

(C)layee odl, layee odl (F)layeeo.

Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd,

(C)layee odl, layee (F)odlo.

Folks in a town that was quite remote,

heard: (C)layee odl, layee odl (F)layeeo.

Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard:

(C)layee odl, layee (F)odlo.

(C)Oho, (F)laydee odlleeo, (C)oho, (F)laydee odl ay!

(C)Oho, (F)laydee odl leeo, (C)(G7)(C)hodlodlleeoay!

A (F)prince on the bridge of a castle moat,

heard: (C)layee odl, layee odl (F)layeeo.

Men on a road with a load to tote,

heard: (C)layee odl, layee (F)odlo.

Men in the midst of a table d'hôte heard:

(C)layee odl, layee odl (F)layeeo.

Men, drinking beer with the foam afloat,

heard: (C)layee odl, layee (F)odlo.

(C)Oho, (F)laydee odlleeo, (C)oho, (F)laydee odl ay!

(C)Oho, (F)laydee odl leeo, (C)(G7)(C)hodlodlleeoay!

A ay!

(F)One little girl, in a pale pink coat,

heard: (C)layee odl, layee odl (F)layeeo.

She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd:

(C)layee odl, layee (F)odlo.

Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat,

heard: (C)layee odl, layee odl (F)layeeo.

What a duet for a girl and goatherd:

(C)layee odl, layee (F)odlo.

(C)Oho, (F)laydee odl leeo, (C)oho, (F)laydee odl ay!

(C)Oho, (F)laydee odl leeo (C)hodlodl (G7)(C)leeoay!

(F)Happy are they, layee o layee leeo!

(C)O laylee o laylee (F)layeeo.

Soon the duet will become a trio,

(C)layee odl, layee (F)odlo.

Hodi (C)layee Hodi (F6)layee

Hodi (C7)layee Ode (F)layee odl leee odl lay.
