Happy Wanderer

Happy Wanderer

I love to go a-wandering
Along the mountain tracks
And as I go, I love to sing
With my knapsack on my back

Chorus:
Valderi, valdera, valdera
Valdera, ha ha ha ha ha valderi, valdera
With 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

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
