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
Val deri Val dera Val deri
Val dera ha ha ha ha ha
Val deri Val dera
My knapsack on my back
I wave my hat to all I meet
And they wave back to me
And blackbirds call
So loud and sweet
From every green wood tree
Val deri Val dera Val deri
Val dera ha ha ha ha ha
Val deri Val dera
My knapsack on my back
High overhead the skylarks wing
They never rest at home
But just like me they love to sing
As over the world we roam
Val deri Val dera Val deri
Val dera ha ha ha ha ha
Val deri Val dera
My knapsack on my back
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 deri Val dera Val deri
Val dera ha ha ha ha ha
Val deri Val dera
My knapsack on my back
