2 Songs - "The Happy Wanderer" and "Pack Up your Troubles"

Enjoy!

The Happy Wanderer

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-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-dera.
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.
Val-deri, Val-dera, Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-dera.
From ev’ry green wood tree

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-dera.
Beneath God’s clear blue sky!

Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile!
While you’ve a lucifer to light your fag,
Smile, boys, that’s the style.
What’s the use of worrying?
It never was worthwhile, so!
Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag, 
And smile, smile, smile!

Note
A lucifer was a popular make of match, and "fag" remains British slang for a cigarette. A kit-bag is a large sausage-shaped canvas or heavy-duty cotton bag, with a flat base and punched holes round the other end for tying with a draw string. It is generally carried balanced on one shoulder, with a hand held up to steady it. It was the traditional means of carrying personal equipment (bedding, clothing etc) in both the army and navy in both world wars and for some time afterwards.
