Out on the Plain was a Lonely Goatherd

…lay ee yodel lay ee yodel lay hee hoo

Sorry!

This Masai goatherd wasn’t actually singing, or yodelling for that matter, but it did bring to mind these lyrics from The Sound of Music.

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

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

  1. I always think of that awful joke whenever there’ mention of this type of singing.

    Knock, knock.
    Who’s there?
    Little old lady.
    ‘Little old lady’ who?
    I didn’t know you could yodel…

    Lovely picture!
