Bill Staines - The Happy Wanderer

The Happy Wanderer

I love to go a wandering
along the mountain track
and as I go, I love to sing
"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"
Valderi! Valdera!
Valderi!
Valderahahahahaha
Valderi! Valdera
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
Valderi! Valdera!
Valderi!
Valderahahahahaha
Valderi! Valdera
from every greenwood tree
high overhead the skylarks wing
they never rest at home
but just like me
they love to sing
as o'r the world we roam
O' may I go a wandering
until the day I die
and may I always laugh and sing
beneath the clear blue sky
Valderi! Valdera!
Valderi!
Valderahahahahaha
Valderi! Valdera
beneath the clear blue sky
I love to go a wandering
along the mountain track
and as I go I love to sing
"My knapsack on my back"
Valderi! Valdera!
Valderi!
Valderahahahahaha
Valderi! Valdera
with my knapsack on my back
Valderi! Valdera!
Valderi!
Valderahahahahaha
Valderi! Valdera
with my knapsack on my back
