[Boris]
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl-oo

[Milan]
One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd

[Boris]
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl-oo

Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Layee odl, layee odl-oo

[Milan]
Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
What a duet for a girl and goatherd

[Choir]
Schafe können sicher weiden
Wo ein guter hirte Wacht
[Boris]
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl-oo

Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd’s throat heard
Layee odl, layee odl-oo

[Milan]
Layee odl, layee odl, layee (x5)
Yee odl, layee-oo
