I wonder as I wander (“Mi chiedo mentre vago”) è una celebre canzone natalizio statunitense, adattamento del 1933 di un canto popolare della Carolina del Nord, ad opera del cantante e folklorista John Jacob Niles (1892 – 1980), da cui fu pubblicata l'anno seguente in Songs of the Hill Folk.
John Jacob Niles was an author, composer, singer, and collector of traditional ballads who had a major influence on the American folk music revival of the 1950s and 1960s. Niles was born into a musical family. His great-grandfather was a composer, organist, and cello manufacturer.
The Songs of John Jacob Niles was published in 1975 and Niles would continue to perform publicly until two years before his death in 1980. Part Renaissance man, part traveling minstrel, Niles left an invaluable body of recordings, folk song collections, and compositions behind.
