SNOWY SNOWY MOUNTAIN, THE
Schultze / Siebert

as rec by Jill Day w Ron Goodwin & his Orch  1954


Heigh ho!  Heigh ho!

Away up in the mountains,
The snowy snowy mountains,
There lives a man that everybody knows.
They know him by his echo,
His own exclusive echo,
Just listen and I'll show you how it goes.

Heigh ho!  (heigh ho),
Heigh ho!  (heigh ho),
You'll hear it almost everywhere you go.
Heigh ho!  (heigh ho),
Heigh ho!  (heigh ho),
Comes rolling round the mountains,
The snowy snowy mountains,
Right down into the valley below.

He has his little sweetheart,
Pretty little sweetheart,
Who dreams of him when he is far away;
And when he';s in the mountains,
The snowy snowy mountains,
He sings to her his little roundelay.

Heigh ho!  (heigh ho),
Heigh ho!  (heigh ho),
Comes echoing right down the mountainside.
Heigh ho!  (heigh ho),
Heigh ho!  (heigh ho),
Which tells her in the Springtime,
The merry merry Springtime,
He's coming down to make her his bride.

So if you're in the mountains,
The snowy snowy mountains,
And you should hear him echoing his song,
You'll know that he is happy,
So very very happy,
Just waiting for the Spring to come along.

Heigh ho!  (heigh ho),
Heigh ho!  (heigh ho),
They'll soon be starting on their honeymoon.
Heigh ho!  (heigh ho),
Heigh ho!  (heigh ho),
And then they'll sing together,
No matter what the weather,
And then they'll sing together his tune.

Heigh ho!  (heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho),
Heigh ho!  (heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho),
Heigh ho!  (heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho),
Heigh ho!  (heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho),
