Lyrics
I love the foothills beyond the plain
They love to echo my lone refrain
Refrain
I’m happy on the prairie all the day
Singing lay-lee-o-lay
And the funny old hills sing back and say
Lay-lee-o lay-lee-o lay-lee-o lay-ee
From far away
Got no gal, got no pal
To keep me company
Only got the funny old hills
Singing along with me
But I’m happy and it’s there I long to stay
Singing lay-lee-o-lay
While the funny old hills sing back to say
Lay-lee-o lay-lee-o lay-lee-o lay-ee
From far away
Performance
