THE HAPPY WANDERER

THE HAPPY WANDERER
[Click For Midi]

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

Chorus
Val-deri, val-deraVal-deri, val-dera,
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haHaVal-dera
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

Val-eri, val-deraVal-deri, val-dera
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haHaVal-era
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 ev'ry green wood tree

Val-eri, val-deraVal-deri, val-dera
Val-deri, val-dera

Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die
Oh, may I always laugh and sing
Beneath God's clear blue sky

Val-eri, val-deraVal-eri, val-dera
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haHaval-dera
Beneath the clear blue sky
Beneath the clear blue sky
