One bright early morn in the month of May
Under the old linden tree
We danced and we sang till the end of the day
Under the old linden tree
We sat in the branches do sturdy and strong
And filled all the air with a yodeling song
Hi deedle ha ha ha ha
Hi deedle ha ha ha ha
Hi deedle ha ha ha ha
Hi deedle do
How everyone ran when it started to rain
Under the old linden tree
We sat home and dried till the sun shined again
Under the old linden tree
And when we were hungry, we'd plenty to eat
And when we were thirsty we'd cider so sweet
We made pretty garlands to put in our hair
Under the old linden tree
The boys were so sturdy the girls were so fair
Under the old linden tree
And when we went home at the end of the day
We walked arm in arm as we sang all the way
