1. One time, a long time ago,
A E
B7 E
on a
mountain in Switzerland, yo lo lo
lo lo,
E A
E
there
lived a fair young maiden,
A E B7 E
lovely
but lonely, oh oh oh oh.
E A
Day after day, she'd pine her
heart away,
E - B7 E
yo lo lo lo lady yay, but no love came her way.
E
One day, her papa said,
E7 A
some
day we'll go down to the village in the valley,
E B7
then
you'll meet a nice young man, who’ll ask for your hand,
E
then
you'll be happy.

2. But very day she grew
unhappier,
A E B7 E
on a
mountain in Switzerland, yo lo lo
lo lo,
E A E
every
day a little bit lonelier,
A E B7
E
which
way to turn and which way to go.
E A
Day after day, she'd pine her
heart away,
E - B7 E
yo lo lo lo lady yay, but no love came her way.
E
E7
Some say the maiden's dream, never
came true,
A
she
never got to go to the valley,
E B7
if
she did or not, I really don't know, oh oh oh oh.
E
Did she die unhappy
?
A
E
B7 E
I'd rather think she found her
love,
A E B7 E
wouldn't
she be better if she did find love,
A
E B7 E
somewhere,
some way.

lo lo lady yay, yo lo lo lady yay
