O-Li-Vi
O-li o-li ach
When the dawn is in the sky
And the snows are glow on high
Then I'm singing merrily
We'll come a-roving with me - O-Li-Vi!
O-Li-Vi
O-li o-li ach ha ha ha ha
O-Li-Vi
O-li o-li ach ha ha ha ha
O-Li-Vi
O-li o-li ach ha ha ha ha
O-Li-Vi
O-li o-li ach
Interlude
Only another mile!
Look! There's a campground across the river.
Let's see if we can scrounge a cuppa
Yeah! Yes! All right! Good idea!
Okay! Let's go!
A note from Arlen:
The accordion in this recording suggests that this song may be inspired by German or Austrian folk music. I had a tough time making out the word that follows "O-Li-Vi" but I think it's "Ach" which is a German exclamation that can express surprise, regret, or other emotions.
