On a mountain in Switzerland yo lo lo lo lo (yo lo lo ay ee)

There lived a fair young maiden

Lovely , but lonely yo oh oh oh

Day after day , she'd pine her heart away

Yo lo lo lo lo ay ay

But 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 and you'll be hand and you'll be happy.'



Oom pa pa , oom pa pa papa

Oom pa pa oom pa pa papa pah (twice)



But every day she grew unhappier ,

on a mountain in Switzerland yo lo lo lo lo (yo lo lo ay ee)

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 ay 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 oh oh oh , did she die unhappy?

I'd rather think she found her love ,

Wouldn't you rather think she did find love?

Somewhere , some way , yodelay de yay , yodelay de yay
