Over the Mountains Songtext
von Don McLean

I′m always lighthearted and easy
Not a care in this world have I
Because I am loved by an Ollie
And I couldn't forget if I tried

She lives far away over the mountains
Where the little birds sing on the trees
And the cabin′s all covered with ivy
And the Ollie is waiting for me

It's over, it's over the mountains
Where the little birds sing on the trees
And the cabin′s all covered with ivy
And the Ollie is waiting for me

Yo-de-la-hee-da-lee
Yo-de-la-hee-da-lee
Yo-de-la-hee-dee-do-le-dee


Yo-de-la-hee-da-lee
Yo-de-la-hee-da-lee
Yo-de-la-hee-dee-do-le-dee

The day I bid goodbye to Ollie
That day I will never forget
For the tears bubbled up from their slumber
I fancy I see them yet

They look like the pearls in the ocean
As she wept her tale of love
And she said my dear boy, don′t forget me
Til we meet here again or above

It's over, it′s over the mountains
Where the little birds sing on the trees
And the cabin's all covered with ivy
And the Ollie is waiting for me

Yo-de-la-hee-da-lee
Yo-de-la-hee-da-lee
Yo-de-la-hee-dee-do-le-dee


Yo-de-la-hee-da-lee
Yo-de-la-hee-da-lee
Yo-de-la-hee-dee-do-le-dee
