The Happy Wanderer lyrics

I love to go a-wandering,

Along the mountain track,

And as I go, I love to sing,

My knapsack on my back.

CHORUS:

Val-deri, Val-dera,

Val-dera,

Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Val-deri, Val-dera.

My knapsack on my back.

I love to wander by the stream

That dances in the sun,

So joyously it calls to me,

"Come! Join my happy song!"

I wave my hat to all I meet,

And they wave back to me,

And blackbirds call so loud and sweet

From every green wood tree.

High overhead, the skylarks wing,

They never rest at home

But just like me, they love to sing,

As o'er the world we roam.

Oh, may I go a-wandering

Until the day I die!

Oh, may I always laugh and sing,

Beneath God's clear blue sky!

Thanks! ❤
