Tonight I heard the wild goose cry |
|
Wingin' north in the lonely sky |
|
Tried to sleep, but it ain't no use |
|
'Cause I am the brother to the old wild goose |
|
My heart knows what the wild goose knows |
|
And I must go where the wild goose goes |
|
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best |
|
A wanderin' foot or a heart at rest |
|
The cabin is warm and the snow is deep |
|
And I've got a woman, she lies asleep |
|
When she wakes at tomorrow's dawn |
|
She'll find, poor critter, that her man is gone |
|
My heart knows what the wild goose knows |
|
And I must go where the wild goose goes |
|
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best |
|
A wanderin' foot or a heart at rest |
|
My woman was kind and true to me |
|
Thinks she loves me, the mournful she |
|
She's gotta learn that it ain't no use |
|
To love the brother to the old wild goose |
|
My heart knows what the wild goose knows |
|
And I must go where the wild goose goes |
|
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best |
|
A wanderin' foot or a heart at rest |
|
Spring is comin' and the ice will break |
|
And I can't linger for a woman's sake |
|
She'll see a shadow pass overhead |
|
She'll find a feather beside my bed |
|
My heart knows what the wild goose knows |
|
And I must go where the wild goose goes |
|
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best |
|
A wanderin' foot or a heart at rest |
|
Wild goose |
