     A5 
Come listen to my tale 'bout a pretty little girl 
                              D5  
That I chanced to meet on the prairie 
        D5 
T'was a night in June by the western moon 
                       A5 
That I met my charming Mary 

Her eyes were as bright as the stars that night 
                             D5 
When she smiled my heart did bubble 
    E5        
She couldn't make love or turtle dove 
                       A5 
But, oh boy, She Could Yodel. 
 
Chorus: (Yodel) 
  A5      D5       A5  
Oodelaia Oolaio Oloadeolaite 
                                         E5 
She yodeled a yodel as sweet as it could be 
    A5                     
Her heart was as pure as pretty yellow gold 
    D5 
But love meant nothin', she was too cold 
    E5                                 A5 
But boy, oh boy, oh boy How She Could Yodel. 
 

A5 
Well, I said to myself, you silly little elf 
                           D5 
I'll win her heart, that's settled 
  D5 
I tried to hiss that pretty little miss 
                    A5 
But, oh my, how she battled 

She called me names made me feel so ashamed 
                         D5 
Then she said my fire is nobel 
         E5 
Then she turned me down, didn't want me around 
                     A5 
But, oh boy, how she yodeled. 
 
Chorus: (Yodel) 
  

     A5 
Next night on the trail I heard a big wail 
                           D5 
She changed her mind, felt sorry 
    D5 
Her yodel, you see, was meant for me 
                         A5 
And she said, you had me worried 
 
I've rode out tonight to make things right 
                            D5 
And I hope you will forgive me 
       E5 
When I said, why yes, she took a deep breath 
                     A5 
And, oh boy, how she yodeled. 
 
Chorus2: (Yodel) 
  A5      D5       A5  
Oodelaia Oolaio Oloadeolaite 
                                         E5 
She yodeled a yodel as sweet as it could be 
    A5                     
Her heart was as pure as pretty yellow gold 
       D5 
And it turned to warm from icy cold 
    E5                               A5 
But boy, oh boy, oh boy how she did yodel. 
 

A5 
Well, then we got married and what do you think 
                                   D5 
We're as happy as the birds in the treeses 
    D5 
Her love is so true and I'm tellin' you 
                     A5 
Her heart no more it freezes 

In a cradle of pine there's a baby devine 
                    D5 
And he never, never grumbles 
         E5 
He's our own little pet and we can't talk yet 
                              A5 
But I wish you could hear him yodel. 
 
Chorus: (Yodel) 
  A5      D5       A5  
Oodelaia Oolaio Oloadeolaite 
                                       E5 
He yodels a yodel as sweet as it could be 
         A5 
He's our own little pet and we love him , you bet 
   D5        
It don't mean a thing that he can't talk yet 
         E5                                          A5 
But he's spendin' his time just learning the way to yodel.
