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. Val-de-ri Val-de-ra Val-de-ri Val-de-ra, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha Val-de-ri Val-de-ra 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 Greenwood tree. Oh, may I go a-wandering Until the day I die, Oh, may I always laugh and sing Beneath God's clear blue sky.
