The Happy Wanderer - Louis Prima

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!
