Oh, come hear my story, I'll tell it to you

My heart is all broken, I'm sad and I'm blue

I just lost my darling, her name was La La

As pretty as a picture and oh, twice as fair.



Hey! La La, Oh! La La, my true La La-aa

Hey! La La, Oh! La La, my true La La.



A grave on the hillside all covered with snow

A heart broken lover with head bending low

With tears in his eyes, he placed a red rose

On the grave of his darling up there in the snow.



REFRAIN



Oh! God up in heaven, please tell her for me

My hopes are all shattered, oh! say can't you see

Just tell her I'm waiting to meet her up there

I'll look at her picture and send her a prayer
