This made me smile. TY😊❤. I sang this song as a child in Chicago in the 1960s

[@twiggy1970]

so many happy memories of my Dad tied up with this song..

[@back2s0ul]

I never knew the words to this song or knew what it was called before now, but I suddenly had the tune in my head. Mystery solved.

[@joyceordonez5195]

A fun song, always, and the piano is a great extra feature. NH

Lyrics
I love to go a-wandering,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing,
My knapsack on my back.
Chorus:
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!
