One time, a long time ago
On the mountain in Switzerland
Yo lo lo lo lo
There lived a fair young maiden
Lovely, but lonely yo ho ho ho ho
Day after day,
She'd pine her heart away
Yo lo lo lo lo lay de ay
Cause no love came her way
One day her papa say
Some day we'll go down
To the village in the valley
There you'll meet a nice young man
He'll ask for your hand
Then you'll be happy
(Vocalize)
But every day she grew unhappier
On the mountain in Switzerland
Yo lo lo lo lo
Every day a little bit lonelier
which way to turn?
which way to go?
Day after day
She'd pine her heart away
Yo lo lo lo lo lay de ay
but no love came her way
Some say the maiden's dream never came true
She never got to go to the valley
If she did or not I really don't know
Wo ho ho ho
Did she die unhappy?
I'd rather think she found her love
Wouldn't you rather thing she did find love?
Some where, some way.
Yo do lay de ay
Yo do lay de ay
