Swiss Maid
Del Shannon
Swiss Maid:Del Shannon. #2 in UK and #64 in USA in 1962. #1. One time a long time ago..on a mountain in Switzerland yoh loh loh loh loh.. there lived a fair young maiden..lovely but lonely yoh hoh hoh hoh. CHORUS: Day after day she’d pine her heart away yoh loh loh loh lay de yay but no love came her way. #2. One day her papa said..’Some day we’ll go down to the village in the valley then you’ll meet a nice young man who’ll ask for your hand then you’ll be happy. Oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah.. Ommp pah..oomp pah pah...pah pah pah.. Oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah.. Ommp pah pah..oomp pah pah..pah pah pah.. #3. But very day she grew unhappier on a mountain in Switzerland yoh loh loh loh loh. Every day a little bit lonelier..which way to turn and which way to go? CHORUS: Day after day she’d pine her heart away yoh loh loh loh lay de yay but no love came her way. #4. Some say the maiden’s dream never came true.. she never got to go to the valley if she did or not I really don’t know whoa hoh hoh hoh.. did she die unhappy? #5. I’d rather think she found her love. Wouldn’t she be better if she did find love..? somewhere some way..yodel-ady-oh..yodel-ady-ay. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
