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 Yo oh oh oh
Day after day She'd pine her heart away Yo 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 Then you'll meet a nice young man Who will ask for your hand Then you'll be happy
[...Solo...]
But every day she grew unhappier On a mountain in Switzerland Yo lo 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 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 Oh oh oh oh Did she die unhappy?
I'd rather think she found her love Wouldn't she be better if she did find love? Somewhere, some way Yo lo lady yay Yo lo lady yay
