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
Some say the maiden's dream never came true
But every day she grew unhappier
She never got to go to the valley
Day after day, she'd pine her heart away
Then you'll be happy"
I'd rather think she found her love
But no love came her way
Lovely but lonely, oh oh oh oh
Somewhere, some way
Which way to turn and which way to go
On a mountain in Switzerland, yo lo lo lo
Did she die unhappy?
But no love came her way
Yo lo lo lo lady yay
There lived a fair young maiden
Day after day, she'd pine her heart away
Yo lo lo lo lady yay
Every day a little bit lonelier
Wouldn't you rather think she did find love?
If she did or not, I really don't know, oh oh oh oh
