The Singing Scoutmaster: Happy Wanderer, The

  A                                         E7     

I love to go a-wandering along the mountain track  

    E7        A                D        E7    A     

And as I go I love to sing, my knapsack on my back  

Chorus:

       E7        A         E7        A                  

valder-i, valder-a, valder-i, valder-ra-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha  

       E7        A     D        E7    A      

valder-i, valder-a, my knapsack on my back.  

  A                                                E7   

I love to wander by the stream, that dances in the sun  

   E7          A                   D       E7    A      

So joyously it calls to me, "Come! Join my happy song"  

-Chorus

A                                                  E7  

I wave my hat to all I meet, and they wave back to me  

    E7                 A                    D     E7        A      

And blackbirds call so loud and sweet, from every greenwood tree.  

-Chorus

  A                                               E7   

I love to wander by the stream that dances in the sun  

   E7          A                 D       E7    A      

So joyously it calls to me "come join my happy song"  

-Chorus

     A                                              E7    

High overhead the skylarks wing, they never rest at home  

    E7                A               D        E7       A      

But just like me they love to sing as o'er the world we roam.  

-Chorus

   A                                    E7   

Oh may I go a-wandering until the day I die  

   E7           A                 D           E7         A     

Oh may I always laugh and sing be-neath God's clear blue sky.  

-Chorus
