Lyrics The Happy Wanderer - Louis Prima

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
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!
