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
O ho lay dee odl lee o, o ho lay dee odl ay
 
O ho lay dee odl lee o, lay dee odl lee o lay
 
A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Men on a road with a load to tote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Men in the midst of a table d'hote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
 
Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
 
O ho lay dee odl lee o, o ho lay dee odl ay
O ho lay dee odl lee o, lay dee odl lee o lay
 
There was 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
