[Verse 1] Met her by the bakery line Maple glaze and a wedding ring shine She said “sorry” with a tiny grin And my poor heart went in I tried to act all cool and wise Then she looked up with those kind eyes I lost my breath, I lost my plan I’m just a helpless man [Pre-Chorus] Oh no, here we go My brain says stop My boots say “go” I can’t un-feel What I just feel That’s a dangerous glow [Chorus] Yodel-ay, ring on her hand Yodel-ay, I understand She’s not mine, I know the score But my heart keeps trotting back for more Yodel-ay, what can I say? Yodel-ay, I’ll walk away She’s got a life, I’m just the band Yodel-ay, ring on her hand [Verse 2] Saw her at the church hall bake I said “hello” and my knees got fake Her laugh hit me like a tambourine Too sweet, too clean I bought a pie, I lost my cool Made a fool of this old fool She waved goodbye, I waved too long Then I sang this song [Pre-Chorus] Oh no, here it comes That little ache That little hum I want the moon She’s wearing noon And I’m all out of drums [Chorus] Yodel-ay, ring on her hand Yodel-ay, I understand She’s not mine, I know the score But my heart keeps trotting back for more Yodel-ay, what can I say? Yodel-ay, I’ll walk away She’s got a life, I’m just the band Yodel-ay, ring on her hand [Bridge] I ain’t gonna knock on that door I ain’t gonna beg for more I’ll tip my hat, I’ll take my leave Even if my foolish heart disagrees [Final Chorus] Yodel-ay, ring on her hand Yodel-ay, I understand She’s not mine, I know the score But my heart keeps trotting back for more Yodel-ay, what can I say? Yodel-ay, I’ll walk away She’s got a life, I’m just the band Yodel-ay, ring on her hand
