Bernese Mountain Dog
by Nancy Simmonds
I’m the yodelin’ miss from the land of the Swiss
I am the Bernese Mountain Dog
Hitch me to a cart I pull with my heart
I love my people and I love my job
Back on the farm I was quick to learn
Proud to be from the Canton of Berne
Yodel-odel-ay the hurdy gurdy plays
For the Bernese Mountain Dog
I’m aristocratic, so diplomatic,
I have the soul of Switzerland
High in the hills I have plenty of skills
Nothin’s too much to give my man
Back on the farm things got sad
Our breed was saved by a little rehab -
Yodel-odel-ee now we work in therapy
We’re the Bernese Mountain Dogs
I’m handsome in my coat of black
With curly waves upon my back
With russet trim and snow tipped paws
And on my chest is the white Swiss cross
I’m a yodelin’ miss from the land of the Swiss
I'm the Bernese Mountain Dog
All I need is the human touch
All I dream is family
If you feel lost I’m the one to trust
I’ll hold you up and take the lead
Back on the farm we only knew love
When Albert Heim gave us our own club!
Yodel-odel-ay the hurdy gurdy plays
For the Bernese Mountain Dog
