One time a long time ago, [B] on a mountain [F#] in Switzerland, yodel-a-lal-a-lo
There lived a fair young maid, lovely but lonely
Day after day, [B] she'd pine her heart away, yodel-a-lal-a-lo, lady-ay
[C#] But no [F#] luck came her way, yodel-a-lal-a-lo, her papa say
Someday we'll go down to the village in the valley
There you'll meet a nice young man, [C#] he'll ask for your hand, and you'll [F#] be happy

[A] [E] [F#] But every day she grew unhappier, [B] on a [F#] mountain in Switzerland, yodel-a-lal-a-lo
Every day a little bit lonelier, [B] which [F#] way to turn, which way to go
Day after day, [B] she'd pine her heart away, [F#] yodel-a-lal-a-lo, lady-ay
[C#] But [F#] no luck came her way, some say the maiden's dream never came true
She never got to [B] go to the valley, if she did or [F#] not I really don't [C#] know
Did she [F#] die unhappy?
[G#] I'd rather think she found her love
Wouldn't you rather think she [F#] did find love, somewhere, someway
Yodel-a [C#]-lay, yodel-a [F#]-lay
