Текст песни: Harry Connick Jr.. Songs I Heard. The Lonely Goatherd.

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd,
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd,
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Ho ho lady odlee ho, ho ho lady odl lay
Ho ho lady odl lee ho, lady odl lee ho lay
A prince on a bridge of a castle moat heard
Men on a road with a load to tote heard
Men in the midst of a table hote heard
Men drinking beer with a foam afloat heard
Ho ho, lady odlee ho, ho ho lady odl lay
Ho ho lady odl lee ho, lady odl lee ho lay

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd,
Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
What a duet for a girl and goatherd,
lay odl aly odl loo

Lay odl lay odl lay hm hm
What a duet for a girl and goatherd, lay odl lay odl loo
Happy are they lady ho lady lee ho, ho lady ho lady lady ho
Soon the duet will become a trio,
Odl lay hee....odl lay hee...odl lay hee hee
Odl lay hee odl lay hee odl lay, hoo!
