Swiss Maid:Del Shannon.
#2 in UK and #64 in USA in 1962.
#1.
One time, a long time ago..on a mountain in Switzerland,
yoh, loh, loh, loh, loh..
there lived a fair young maiden..lovely but lonely,
yoh, hoh, hoh, hoh.
CHORUS:
Day after day, she d pine her heart away,
yoh, loh, loh, loh, lay de yay, but no love came her way.
#2.
One day, her papa said.. Some day we ll go down to
the village in the valley, then you ll meet a nice
young man, whoâll ask for your hand, then you ll be happy.
Oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..
Ommp pah..oomp pah pah...pah pah pah..
Oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..
Ommp pah pah..oomp pah pah..pah pah pah..
#3.
But very day she grew unhappier, on a mountain in
Switzerland, yoh, loh, loh, loh, loh.
Every day a little bit lonelier..which way to turn
and which way to go?
CHORUS:
Day after day, she d pine her heart away,
yoh, loh, loh, loh, lay de yay, but no love came her way.
#4.
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, whoa, hoh, hoh, hoh..
did she die unhappy?
#5.
I d rather think she found her love.
Wouldn t she be better if she did find love..?
somewhere, some way..yodel-ady-oh..yodel-ady-ay.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
