The Swiss Maid

The Swiss Made - Del Shannon

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 ho ho ho

Day afetr day she'd pine her heart away

Yo lo lo lo lo lo lady yay

Because no love came her way

One day her papa say

Someday 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 the mountain In switzerland

Yo lo lo lo lo

Every day a little bit lonelier

Which way to turn which way to go

And day after day she'd pine her heart away

Yo lo lo 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

Wo ho ho ho

Did she die unhappy

I'd rather think she found her love

Wouldn't you rather think she did find love

Somewhere someway

Yodel lady ay

Yodel lady ay
