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

Day after day,
She'd pine her heart away,
Yo lo lo lady yay,
Cuz 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?

And 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 you rather think she did find love?
Somewhere,
Some way.

Yo lo lo lady yay,
Yo lo lo lady yay.
