Swiss Maid

One time, a long time ago
On a mountain in Switzerland, yodel-odel-oh
There lived a very young maiden
Lovely but lonely, yo-ho-ho-ho
Day after day, she'd pine her heart away
Yodel-odel-oh, lady-eh, but no love came her way
One day her papa say, "Someday we'll go
Down in the village in the valley
There you'll meet a nice young man who'll ask for your hand
Then you'll be happy"
But every day she grew unhappier
On a mountain in Switzerland, yodel-odel-oh
Every day a little bit lonelier
Which way to turn, which way to go?
Day after day, she'd pine her heart away
Yodel-odel-oh, lady-eh, 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 it, I really don't know, yo-ho-ho-ho
Did she die unhappy?
I'd rather think she found her love
Wouldn't you rather think she did find love?
Somewhere, someway, yodel-odel-eh, yodel-odel-eh
