FRANK WEIR lyrics - The Happy Wanderer

(Words by Antonia Ridge and Music by Friedrich W. Moller)



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, ha

Ha

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



Val-eri, val-dera

Val-deri, val-dera

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Ha

Val-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-dera

Val-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-dera

Val-eri, val-dera

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Ha

Val-dera

Beneath the clear blue sky



Beneath the clear blue sky
