Happy Wanderer

                                                     
I love to go a-wandering along the mountain track,   
And as I go, I love to sing,
My nap-sack on my back. 

I love to wander by the brook that dances in the sun.  
So joyously it calls to me, 
Come join my happy fun. 

Valderee, valderah 
Valderee, valderah ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, valderee
Valderah, my nap-sack on my back  

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.   

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

Valderee, valderah 
Valderee, valderah ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, valderee
Valderah, my nap-sack on my back  

I love to go a-wandering along the mountain track,   
And as I go, I love to sing,
My nap-sack on my back. 

Valderee, valderah 
Valderee, valderah ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, valderee
Valderah, my nap-sack on my back
