Oh, come hear my story, I'll tell it to you 
My heart is all broken, I'm sad and I'm blue 
I just lost my darling, her name was La La 
As pretty as a picture and oh, twice as fair. 
 
Hey! La La, Oh! La La, my true La La-aa 
Hey! La La, Oh! La La, my true La La. 
 
A grave on the hillside all covered with snow 
A heart broken lover with head bending low 
With tears in his eyes, he placed a red rose 
On the grave of his darling up there in the snow. 
 
Oh! God up in heaven, please tell her for me 
My hopes are all shattered, oh! say can't you see 
Just tell her I'm waiting to meet her up there 
I'll look at her picture and send her a prayer
