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-dera, 
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 ev'ry green wood tree. 

Val-deri, Val-dera, Val-dera, 
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha 
Val-deri, Val-dera. 
From ev'ry greenwood 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.

Val-deri, Val-dera, Val-dera, 
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha 
Val-deri, Val-dera. 
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!

Val-deri, Val-dera, Val-dera, 
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha 
Val-deri, Val-dera. 
Beneath the clear blue sky
