Hank Snow – How She Could Yodel (Guitar)

     A
Come listen to my tale 'bout a pretty little girl

                              Dsus2
That I chanced to meet on the prairie

        D
T'was a night in June by the western moon

                       A
That I met my charming Mary

                             D
When she smiled my heart did bubble

    E
She couldn't make love or turtle dove

                       A
But, oh boy, She Could Yodel.

  A      D       A
Oodelaia Oolaio Oloadeolaite

                                         E
She yodeled a yodel as sweet as it could be

    A
Her heart was as pure as pretty yellow gold

    D
But love meant nothin', she was too cold

    E                                 A
But boy, oh boy, oh boy How She Could Yodel.

A
Well, I said to myself, you silly little elf

                           Dsus2
I'll win her heart, that's settled

  D
I tried to hiss that pretty little miss

                    A
But, oh my, how she battled

                         D
Then she said my fire is nobel

         E
Then she turned me down, didn't want me around

                     A
But, oh boy, how she yodeled.

     A
Next night on the trail I heard a big wail

                           Dsus2
She changed her mind, felt sorry

    D
Her yodel, you see, was meant for me

                         A
And she said, you had me worried

                            D
And I hope you will forgive me

       E
When I said, why yes, she took a deep breath

                     A
And, oh boy, how she yodeled.

  A      D       A
Oodelaia Oolaio Oloadeolaite

                                         E
She yodeled a yodel as sweet as it could be

    A
Her heart was as pure as pretty yellow gold

       D
And it turned to warm from icy cold

    E                               A
But boy, oh boy, oh boy how she did yodel.

A
Well, then we got married and what do you think

                                   Dsus2
We're as happy as the birds in the treeses

    D
Her love is so true and I'm tellin' you

                     A
Her heart no more it freezes

                    D
And he never, never grumbles

         E
He's our own little pet and we can't talk yet

                              A
But I wish you could hear him yodel.

  A      D       A
Oodelaia Oolaio Oloadeolaite

                                       E
He yodels a yodel as sweet as it could be

         A
He's our own little pet and we love him, you bet

   D
It don't mean a thing that he can't talk yet

         E                                          A
But he's spendin' his time just learning the way to yodel.
