"I Wonder as I I Wander" is a Christmas folk carol based on a traditional Appalachian folk song. The song's lyrics were collected by musician and folklorist John Jacob Niles in the early 20th century. Niles first heard the song being sung by a young girl in the town of Murphy, North Carolina in 1933. He was struck by the haunting melody and unique lyrics, which recount the journey of the narrator as they wander from place to place.
Niles adapted and arranged the song, adding his own verses and arranging the melody into the version that is most commonly known today. The song has since been recorded by numerous artists and has become a popular Christmas carol, known for its melancholic and introspective tone.
"I Wonder as I Wander" has been included in many Christmas albums and has been performed by artists such as Joan Baez, John Denver, and Harry Connick Jr. It remains a beloved and poignant addition to the Christmas music repertoire.
