The Swiss Made - 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 lo lady yay

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 lo lady yay

But no love came her way

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, oh oh oh oh

Did she die unhappy?

I’d rather think she found her love

Wouldn’t you rather think she did find love?

Somewhere, some way

Yo lo lady yay, yo lo lady yay
