The Lonely Goatherd Lyrics - Harry Connick, Jr.

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 

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 

Ooh, all 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 the pale pink coat heard 

She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd 

Soon her mama with the gleaming gloat heard 

What a duet for a girl and goatherd 

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hoo hoo 

Happy are they lay dee olay dee lee o 

Soon the duet will become a trio 

Odl lay ee, old lay ee 

Odl lay ee, odl lay ee 

Odl lay ee, old lay ee 

Odl lay ee
