Key: E major
Verse 1
In the late forties
there was a miner
who worked at the Ivanhoe Mine
And my granddad who worked with him
said to me at the time
come with me,
there's something I want you to hear
of the Ivanhoe
Mine
Out of the darkness of the Ivanhoe mine
Swiss yodels echoed and rang
In real fascination I stood and listened
As a miner yodeled and sang
who took me down
To the board where the miner would be
by the line of my lamps
A
D
He taught his yodels to me
and the chipping of the picks
Yoddledee -dee -dee -oh,
it suited me fine
A
D
I learnt to yodel in the Ivanhoe mine
The miner said he came
from Switzerland
And over in his homeland
There's no covered alps
where the scenery below
is something that's really grand
mountains high
and communicate that way
are quite unique
A
D
in each and every Swiss chalet
He said he left his home
and came out here in search
of a better goal
Things didn't go as planned
and he ended up in the
Ivanhoe Shovel and Coal
was the yodel he bought from home
and I answered back with a
A
D
yodel all of my own
and the chipping of the picks
and I learnt all the tricks
Oh, it suited me fine
A
D
I learnt to yodel in the Ivanhoe Mine
