The Alpine Sing-A-Long Song Book

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

Chorus: Valderie, Valdera, Valderie Valdera a a a a a a a a Valderie, Valdera, With 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.

Chorus

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

Chorus

Oh may I go a-wandering Until the day I die And may I always laugh and sing Beneath the clear blue sky Chorus
