The Happy Wanderer

Chorus:
Val-der-ri, val-der-ra
Val-der-ri, val-der-ra ra ra ra ra ra
Val-der-ri, val-der-ra (the last line of the verse)

1. I love to go a-wandering along the mountain track
And as I go, I love to sing with my knapsack on my back

2. I love to wander by the stream that dances in the sun
So joyously it calls to me come join my happy song

3. I wave my hat to all I meet and they wave back at me
And blackbirds call so loud and clear from every greenwood tree

4. 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.

5. Oh, may I go a-wandering until the day I die
And may I always laugh and sing beneath God's clear blue sky
