Happy Wanderer
6 6 6 6 -5-5 5 5
I love to go a-wandering
5 5 5 6 5 -5
Along the mountain track,
6 6-7 -7 -7 7 6 6
And as I go, I love to sing
6 -6 -5 5 -4 4
My knapsack on my back.
Refrain
6 6 -7 6 6 7
Val-der-ri, valder-ra
6 6 -8 6 6 7 -7 7 -7 7 -7 -6 7
Val-der-re, valder-ra ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
6 6 -7 6 6 7
Val-der-ri, valder-rah
6 -6 -5 5 -4 4
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
>refrain, (ending in the last line)
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
-> refrain, etc.
Overhead the skylarks wing
They never rest at home
But just like me they like to sing
As o'er the world we roam
-> refrain, etc.
Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die,
And may I always laugh and sing
Beneath God's clear blue sky.
-> refrain, etc.
