Fair Swiss Maiden Lyrics - 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
