The Happy Wanderer
(source: "Jubilee Songbook", Girl Guides of Canada, 1971.)

Chorus:

Val-der-ri, val-der-ra

Val-der-ri, val-der-ra ra ra ra ra ra

Val-der-ri, val-der-ra

(sing the last line of the verse)

I love to go a-wandering

Along the mountain track

And as I go, I love to sing

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 at me

And blackbirds call so loud and clear

From every greenwood tree

Oh, may I go a-wandering

Until the day I die

And may I always laugh and sing

Beneath God's clear blue sky
