everybody said he looks just like the fairy king
and for the girls he was the hottest guy around
and he often took them onto his mountain meadow
and his face was known in every town
and he said they all call me Doodlemoser
doodle doodle doodledee die
and if a man can't be a hunter he will be a poacher
gonna poach until the day I die
(REF)
dancing on the pastures high
can't feel wrong, must be right
laughing, watching time go by
Such a pretty sight
dancing on the pastures high
but don't go, alone at night
for he's kept up there with him
many a handsome bride
nobody had a clue just where he was from
and they locked up all the girls in the home
and at nightfall he was out again to stalk his prey
and his eyes would show an eery glow
and some girls made off to meet Doodlemoser
Doodle doodle doodledee die
but when they had danced for two, three hours
they ran home before the fall of night
(REF)
dancing on the pastures high
can't feel wrong, must be right
laughing, watching time go by
Such a pretty sight
dancing on the pastures high
but don't go, alone at night
for he's kept up there with him
many a handsome bride
And the city women came and they arranged a meeting
and they stayed up on the mountain all night
and the preacher said " i always knew that he's a demon"
but the mayor said " i think he's all right"
and they made a fair dollar with Doodlemoser
doodle doodle doodledee die
And all the Beer, the Hats and the Lederhosen
would sell as quick as apple pie
(REF 2)
dancing on the pastures high
blessed be, if you try
fill your cup right to the brim
live before you die
dancing on the pastures high
it's always been this way
go embrace what life will bring
on each and every day
