Roger Miller Fair Swiss Maiden lyrics

One time a long time ago
On a mountain in Switzerland, yo, lo lo lo
There lived a fair young maiden
Lovely but lonely, yo, ho h ho

Day by the day
She'd pine her heart away, yo, lo lo lo lady lay
'Cause no love came her way

One day her papa say
Someday we'll go down to the village in the valley
There'll you meet a nice young man
He'll ask for your hand then you'll be happy
(Umpa, umpa, umpa)

But every day she grew unhappier
On the mountain in Switzerland, yo, lo, lo, lo
Every day a little bit lonelier

Which a way to turn which a way to go

And day after day
She'd pine her heart away, yo, lo lo lo, lady lay
But no love came her way

Some say the maiden's dreams never came true
She never got to go to the valley
If she did I really don't know
Oh, oh, oh, did she die unhappy?

I had rather think she found her love
Wouldn't you rather think she did find love?
Somewhere someway, yodelladylay, yodelladyley
