TITLE: The Lonely Goatherd
Lyrics and Chords


[Sound of Music]

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl, lay-ee-o
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Layee odl layee odloo
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Layee odl, layee odl, lay-ee-o
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Layee odl, layee odloo

/ G - D7 D7G / D - GC G / 1st / D D7 G - / :

Oho laydee odl lee-o, oho laydee odl lay
Oho laydee odl lee-o, hodl odl lee-o-ay 

/ D - G - D D7 G - / D - G CG D EmA7 D - /

A prince on the bridge of the castle moat heard
Layee odl, layee odl, lay-ee-o
Men on a road with a load to tote heard
Layee odl, layee odloo
Men in the midst of a table d'hôte heard
Layee odl, layee odl, lay-ee-o
Men drinkin' beer with the foam afloat heard
Layee odl, layee odloo
Oho laydee...

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
Layee odl, layee odl, lay-ee-o
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odloo
Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Layee odl, layee odl, lay-ee-o
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
Layee odl, layee odloo
Oho laydee...

Happy are they, laylee o layee leeo
O layle o laylee lay-ee-o
Soon the duet will become a trio
Layee odl, layee odloo
Hodi layee, hodi layee, hodi layee
Ode layee odl lee-e odl lay
