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