The Happy Wanderer (a song)
Feb. 20th, 2025 02:35 pmThese words were found in my father's handwriting:
THE HAPPY WANDERER
I. I love to go a wandering, along a mountain track,
And as I go I love to sing, my knapsack on my back.
II. I tip my hat to all I meet, and they wave back to me,
And blue birds sing so loud and sweet, from every greenwood tree.
IIII. Oh may I always wander, until the day I die,
And may I always laugh and sing, beneath God's dear blue sky.
VIVA LA COMPANIE
I. Let every good fellow now join in the song.
Success to each other and pass it along.
II. A friend on your left and a friend on your right
In love and good fellowship now let us unite.
III. Now wider and wider our circle expands,
Let's sing to our comrades in far away lands.
