Version 1
[Verse]
C
I packed my grip for a farewell trip
G7
Kissed Suzy Jane goodbye at the fountain
F C
I'm going says I to the land of the sky
G7 C
Away out on the mountain
[Verse]
C
Where the wild sheep grows and the buffalo roams
G7
And the squirrels are so many you can't count them
F C
Then I'll make love to some turtle dove
G7 C
Way out on the mountain
[Chorus]
F C G7
Oh le oh le he ho i de le lo le ho i de oh le he o le he oh oh
C
le he o ou le he ou ou do le he
[Verse]
C
When the north winds blow and we're gonna have snow
G7
And the rain and the hail comes bounding
F C
I'll wrap myself in a grizzly bear coat
G7 C
Away out on the mountain
Repeat yodel
[Verse]
C
Where the snakes are vile and the zebras wild
G7
And the beavers paddle on walking cane
F C
Then I'll mend my boots with a buffalo hide
G7 C
Away out on the mountain
Repeat yodel
[Verse]
C
Where the Whippoorwills sing me to sleep at night
G7
And the eagle roosts on the rocks of Spontan
F C
I'll feast on the meat and the honey so sweet
G7 C
Away out on the mountain
