The Swiss Maid |
| One time a long time ago |
| On a mountain in Switzerland, yo lo lo lo |
| There lived a fair young maiden |
| Lovely but lonely, oh 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 said, «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 every day she grew unhappier |
| On a mountain in Switzerland, yo lo lo lo |
| Every day a little bit lonelier |
| Which way to turn and 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 maiden’s dream never came true |
| She never got to go to the valley |
| If she did or not, I really don’t know, oh 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 lady yay, yo lo lady yay |
