Hats off to Del Shannon

One time a long time ago
On a mountain in Switzerland
Yo lo lo lo
There lived a fair young maiden
Lovely but lonely
Oh oh oh oh


Day after day
She'd pine her heart away
Yo lo lo lady ya
But no love came her way


One day her papa said
Some day we'll go
Down to the village in the valley
There you'll meet a nice young man
He'll ask for your hand
Then you'll be happy


But every day she grew unhappier
On a mountain in Switzerland
Yo lo lo lo
Every day a little bit lonelier
Which way to turn and which way to go


Day after day
She'd pine her heart away
Yo lo lo lady ya
But no love came her way


Some say the maidens dream
Never came true
She never got to go to the valley
If she did or not
I really don't know, Oh oh oh oh
Did she die unhappy?


I'd rather think she found her love
Wouldn't she be better if she did find love?
Somewhere
Some way


Yo lo lo lady ya
Yo lo lo lady ya
