"Swiss Maid" lyrics

Swiss Maid

One time a long time ago
On a mountain in Switzerland yo lo lo lo lo
There lived a fair young maiden
Lovely but lonely oh oh
Day after day
She'd find her heart away
Yo lo lo lo lo hey
Cause no love came her way
One day her papa'd say
Some day you'll go
Down to the willage in the valley
There you'll meet a nice young man
Ask for your hand
Then you'll be happy

But every day she grew unhappy
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 find her heart away
Yo lo lo lo lo hey
But no love come her way
Some say the maidens dreams never came true
She'd never got to go to the valley
If she didn't he really don't know
Oh oh oh did she die unhappy
Well now I'd rather think she found her love
I would be rather if she'd find love
Somewhere someway
Yo de lay de lay lay lay lay
