[Verse 1]
I'm always light-hearted and easy
Not a care in this world have I
Because I am loved by an Ollie
And I couldn't forget if I tried

[Verse 2]
She lives far away o'er the mountains
Where the little birds sing on the trees
And the cabin's all covered with ivy
And the Ollie is waitin'g for me

[Verse 3]
It's over, it's over the mountains
Where the little birds sing on the trees
And the cabin's all covered with ivy
And the Ollie is waitin' for me

[Chorus]
Yodel-lay-del-dee
Yodel-lay-del-dee
Yodel-lay-dee-del-dee
Yodel-lay-del-dee
Yodel-lay-del-dee
Yodel-lay-dee-del-dee
[Verse 4]
The day I bid goodbye to Ollie
That day I will never forget
For the tears bubbled up from their slumber
I fancy I seen them yet

[Verse 5]
They looked like the pearls in the ocean
As she wept her tale of love
And she said, "My dear boy, don't forget me
'Til we meet here again or above"

[Verse 3]
It's over, it's over the mountains
Where the little birds sing on the trees
And the cabin's all covered with ivy
And the Ollie is waitin' for me

[Chorus]
Yodel-lay-del-dee
Yodel-lay-del-dee
Yodel-lay-dee-del-dee
Yodel-lay-del-dee
Yodel-lay-del-dee
Yodel-lay-dee-del-dee
