The Lonely Goatherd

MARIA
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Leyi yodeleyi yodelehihu
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Leyi yodeleyi yodelu

Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Leyi yodeleyi yodelehihu
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Leyi yodeleyi yodelu

CHILDREN
O ho ledi yodeli ho
O ho ledi yodele
O ho ledi yodeli ho
Ledi yodeliho le

MARIA
A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard
Leyi yodeleyi yodelehihu

CHILDREN
Men on a road with a load to tote heard
Leyi yodeleyi yodelu

Men in the midst of a (tavel dote?)  heard
Leyi yodeleyi yodelehihu

MARIA
Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard
Leyi yodeleyi yodelu

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
Leyi yodeleyi yodelehihu

CHILD
She yodled back to the lonely goatherd
Leyi yodeleyi yodelu

MARIA
Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Leyi yodeleyi yodelehihu
What a duet for a girl and goatherd

ALL
Leyi yodeleyi yodelu

Odeleyi (odeleyi)
Odeleyi (odeleyi)
Odelehihi (odelehihi)
Odeleyi

O ho leyi yodeli ho
O ho leyi yode le
Oh ho leyi yodeli ho
Leyi yodeliho le

CHILD
One little girl in a pale pink coat heard

MARIA
Leyi yodeleyi yodelehuhu

CHILD
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd

MARIA
Leyi yodeleyi yodelo

Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Leyi yodoleyi yodelehuhu
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
Leyi yodeleyi yodelo

ALL
Happy are they
Lediyo lediliyo
O lediyo ledilehihu
Soon the duet will become a trio
Leyi yodeleyi yodelo

Odeleyi
Odeleyi (odeleyi)
Odelehihi (odelehihi)
Odeleyi

Odeleyi odeli (odeleyi odele)
Odeleyi odeli (odeleyi odele)
Odeleyi odeli (odeleyi odele)
Odeleyi odeleliyi odele
Oh
