There's Someone Awaiting for Me
All the people of today, they are going far away
To the mountains, the lakes, or the sea
There's a little spot out west that I always loved the best
And there's someone a-waiting for me
She'll be happy (She'll be happy)
She'll be free (She'll be free)
When she wanders alone with me
It'll be getting quite late
When I meet her at the gate
And there's someone a-waiting for me
Yodel-ay-ee, oh-ah-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee, oh-ah-lay
There's birds in every tree and they sing among the breeze
But there's none so happy as me
I am going out west and there I'll do my best
To build a little home for you and me
She'll be happy (She'll be happy)
She'll be free (She'll be free)
When she wanders alone with me
It'll be getting quite late
When I meet her at the gate
And there's someone a-waiting for me
Yodel-ay-ee, oh-ah-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee, oh-ah-lay
Oh, the birds that fly above singing dear songs of love
O'er the meadows, the valleys so deep
Their voices so sweet that they sing me to sleep
For I know my darling will not weep
She'll be happy (She'll be happy)
She'll be free (She'll be free)
When she wanders alone with me
It'll be getting quite late
When I meet her at the gate
And there's someone a-waiting for me
Yodel-ay-ee, oh-ah-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee, oh-ah-lay
(Instrumental break)
To the mountains, the lakes, or the sea
There's a little spot out west that I always loved the best
And there's someone a-waiting for me
She'll be happy (She'll be happy)
She'll be free (She'll be free)
When she wanders alone with me
It'll be getting quite late
When I meet her at the gate
And there's someone a-waiting for me
Yodel-ay-ee, oh-ah-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee, oh-ah-lay
There's birds in every tree and they sing among the breeze
But there's none so happy as me
I am going out west and there I'll do my best
To build a little home for you and me
She'll be happy (She'll be happy)
She'll be free (She'll be free)
When she wanders alone with me
It'll be getting quite late
When I meet her at the gate
And there's someone a-waiting for me
Yodel-ay-ee, oh-ah-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee, oh-ah-lay
Oh, the birds that fly above singing dear songs of love
O'er the meadows, the valleys so deep
Their voices so sweet that they sing me to sleep
For I know my darling will not weep
She'll be happy (She'll be happy)
She'll be free (She'll be free)
When she wanders alone with me
It'll be getting quite late
When I meet her at the gate
And there's someone a-waiting for me
Yodel-ay-ee, oh-ah-lee-oh-lay-ee
Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee, oh-ah-lay
