Fair Swiss Maiden

Roger Miller · Other Songs - Roger Miller

One time a long time ago on a mountain in Switzerland yolololo



There lived a fair young maiden lovely but lonely yohohoho



Day by the day she'd pine her heart away yololololadylay

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 yolololo



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 yololololadylay

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 ohohoh 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
