The song is well known for its examples of yodeling, a part of the traditional music of the Austrian Alps, where the musical is set.
Background
This song tells the whimsical story of a goatherd whose yodelling is heard from far off and by passers-by, until he falls in love with a girl who wears a pale-pink coat, with her mother joining in the yodelling. The original 1959 musical has this as the song Maria (played by Mary Martin) sings to comfort the Von Trapp children during a storm.
For the 1965 film adaptation, screenwriter Ernest Lehman repositioned this song to a later part of the film wherein Maria (played by Julie Andrews) and the children sing it as part of a marionette show they perform for their father.
The song in place of "The Lonely Goatherd" was "My Favorite Things", which was originally sung earlier in the original musical at the office of the Mother Abbess as a duet between her and Maria, just before she gets sent to serve Captain von Trapp's family as governess to his seven children.
