Yodel-ladee-oh-ladee-oh-ladee

As the dark holy night creeps around me

In silence I kneel down in tears
Many sound sleeping souls do surround me
As my thoughts wander back many years


And with a young girl I am roaming
And speaking of treasures divine

We kiss and caress in the gloaming
She was nobodys darling but mine


I gaze into her eyes at twilight
Years of happiness then I could see
Her smile sparkled bright in the star light

Oh why was she taken from me?

That night when you told me in kindness

That your eye sight was failing and then
You spent your last days in sheer blindness
My heart broke to neer mend again


No one was more kind or more sweeter
She longed to be queen of a home

I pray that some day I shall meet her
In that far off wonderful home


Oh dear lord of justice in heaven
Oh hear me as I humbly pray
Ever linger with my dearest darling

Till I meet her up yonder some day
