Fair Swiss Maiden lyrics

One time, a long time ago

On the mountain in Switzerland

Yo lo lo lo lo

There lived a fair young maiden

Lovely, but lonely yo ho ho ho ho

Day after day,

She'd pine her heart away

Yo lo lo lo lo lay de ay

Cause no love came her way

One day her papa say

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

(Vocalize)

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?

Day after day

She'd pine her heart away

Yo lo lo lo lo lay de ay

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 thing she did find love?

Some where, some way.

Yo do lay de ay

Yo do lay de ay
