[Intro]
D A
A
Come listen to my tale 'bout a pretty little girl
Dsus2
That I chanced to meet on the prairie
D
T'was a night in June by the western moon
A
That I met my charming Mary
Her eyes were as bright as the stars that night
D
When she smiled my heart did bubble
E
She couldn't make love or turtle dove
A
But, oh boy, She Could Yodel.
Yodel
Chorus:
A D A
Oodelaia Oolaio Oloadeolaite
E
She yodeled a yodel as sweet as it could be
A
Her heart was as pure as pretty yellow gold
D
But love meant nothin', she was too cold
E A
But boy, oh boy, oh boy How She Could Yodel.
A
Well, I said to myself, you silly little elf
Dsus2
I'll win her heart, that's settled
D
I tried to hiss that pretty little miss
A
But, oh my, how she battled
She called me names made me feel so ashamed
D
Then she said my fire is nobel
E
Then she turned me down, didn't want me around
A
But, oh boy, how she yodeled.
Yodel
Chorus:
A
Next night on the trail I heard a big wail
Dsus2
She changed her mind, felt sorry
D
Her yodel, you see, was meant for me
A
And she said, you had me worried
I've rode out tonight to make things right
D
And I hope you will forgive me
E
When I said, why yes, she took a deep breath
A
And, oh boy, how she yodeled.
Yodel
Chorus2:
A D A
Oodelaia Oolaio Oloadeolaite
E
She yodeled a yodel as sweet as it could be
A
Her heart was as pure as pretty yellow gold
D
And it turned to warm from icy cold
E A
But boy, oh boy, oh boy how she did yodel.
A
Well, then we got married and what do you think
Dsus2
We're as happy as the birds in the treeses
D
Her love is so true and I'm tellin' you
A
Her heart no more it freezes
In a cradle of pine there's a baby devine
D
And he never, never grumbles
E
He's our own little pet and we can't talk yet
A
But I wish you could hear him yodel.
Yodel
Chorus:
A D A
Oodelaia Oolaio Oloadeolaite
E
He yodels a yodel as sweet as it could be
A
He's our own little pet and we love him, you bet
D
It don't mean a thing that he can't talk yet
E A
But he's spendin' his time just learning the way to yodel.
