Song by Maria and the Children<br /><br>

[Maria:]<br>

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo<br>

Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo<br>

<br>

Folks in a town that was quite remote heard<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo<br>

Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo<br>

<br>

[the Children:]<br>

O ho lay dee odl lee o, o ho lay dee odl ay<br>

O ho lay dee odl lee o, lay dee odl lee o lay<br>

<br>

[Maria:]<br>

A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo<br>

[Kurt:]<br>

Men on a road with a load to tote heard<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo<br>

<br>

[the Children:]<br>

Men in the midst of a table d'hote heard<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo<br>

[Maria:]<br>

Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo<br>

<br>

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo<br>

[Brigitta:]<br>

She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo<br>

<br>

[Maria:]<br>

Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo<br>

What a duet for a girl and goatherd<br>

Maria and the Children:<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo<br>

<br>

[Maria and the Children:]<br>

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard<br>

[Maria:]<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hoo hoo<br>

[Child:]<br>

She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd<br>

[Maria:]<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo<br>

Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard<br>

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hmm hmm<br>

What a duet for a girl and goatherd<br>
