Harry Connick, Jr. - The Lonely Goatherd lyrics

[Harry Connick, Jr. - The Lonely Goatherd lyrics]

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Lusty and clear from the
Goatherd's throat heard

Now o-ho, lay dee-odl lee-o-o-ho
Lay dee-odl ay o-ho, lay dee-odl lee-o
Lay dee-odl lee-o lay

A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard
Men on a road with a load to tote heard
Oh, all of the men in the
Midst of a table d'hote heard
Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard
O-ho, lay dee-odl lee-o-o-ho, lay dee-odl ay
O-ho, lay dee-odl lee-o
Lay dee-odl lee-o lay

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
Lay dee-odl lee-o-odl-o

Happy are they lay dee-olay dee lee-o
Soon the duet will become a trio odl lay-ee
Odl lay-ee odl lay-ee
Odl lay-ee odl lay-ee
Odl lay-ee
