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
