I'm walkin' along,
Singin' a song, it's been
So long that I've been away
And I've hiked down the highways,
And thumbed down the byways,
And now I am home here to stay.
There's a boy (girl)
on the prairie (valley),
And his (her) name is Jerry (Sally),
I hope he's still waiting for me,
For I've missed him so much,
And I've longed for his touch,
And it's him that I'm longing to see.
And I'll sing him this
yodel,
This happy yodel,
And we will be married in spring,
And the bells will be ringin',
The birds will be singin',
And he will be wearin' my ring.
(Yodel)
(repeat verse 2 on)
