Lonely Goat Herd RIV 510
Patty Greene

OPENER / BREAK

Circle Left
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Walk Around your Corner, then you'll
See Saw 'round your own you go
Left Allemande and then you Weave around that Ring
Hi ho lay dee odl lee o, Hi ho lay dee odl ay
Swing that girl, Promenade her, Promenade that way
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Break Lyrics

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

...
Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

CLOSER

4 Ladies Chain across, you'll turn that girl and Circle Left
You Rollaway...4 Ladies Rollaway, and Circle Left get around that way
Allemande Left and Weave the Ring
Hi ho lay dee odl lee o, Hi ho lay dee odl ay
Swing that girl, Promenade her, Promenade that way
Happy are they lay dee olay dee lee o
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Soon the duet will become a trio
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

FIGURE

Heads Promenade, go halfway around there
Walk in and Square Thru, 4 hands around you go
All the way and a Right and Left Thru, and turn that lady there you do
Pass Thru, Trade By, and then you Star Thru
Square Thru 3 hands 'round, find that corner lady, Swing
Swing that girl and then you Promenade that way
A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Men on a road with a load to tote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Alternate lyrics

Men in the midst of a table d'hote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
