The Lonely Goatherd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lonely Goatherd is a song from the musical The Sound Of Music, sung by Julie Andrews, (playing Maria von Trapp), and the von Trapp children.
Some different parts of the song, notably the beginning strings, are sampled in Gwen Stefani's Wind It Up from her 2006 album The Sweet Escape.
Some of the lyrics are as follows:
"High on a hill was a lonely goatherd, layee odl, layee odl layeeo! Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd, layee, odl, layee odlo!
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard: layee odl, layee odl layeeo! Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard: layee odl, layee odlo!
Oho, lay-dee odlleeo, Oho, laydee odl ay! Oho, lay-dee odlleeo, hodlodlleeoay!"
