Swiss Maid

One time a long time ago
On a mountain in Switzerland
Yo lo lo lo lo
There lived a fair young maiden
Lovely but lonely
Yo ho ho ho

Day after day she¡¯d pine her heart away
Yo lo lo lo lo lo lady yay
¡®Cause no love came her way

One day her papa say
Someday 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

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 And day after day she¡¯d pine her heart away
Yo lo lo lo lo lo lady yay
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 think she did find love
Somewhere, someway
Yodel..lady..ay
Yodel¡­lady..ay
