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,
Yoh oh oh oh.

Day after day,
She'd pine her heart away,
Yo lo lo lo lady yay,
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,
Then you'll be happy

But everyday she grew unhappier,
On a mountain in Switzerland,
Yo lo lo lo lo,
Everyday 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 lady yay,
But no love came her way.

Some say the maidens dream,
Never came true,
She never got to go to the valley,
If she did or not,
I really don't know, Woh 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.

Yo lo lo lo lady yay,
Yo lo lo lo lady yay.....
