[Chorus:]
|
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' fool or a heart at rest
|
|
Tonight I heard the wild goose cry
|
Hangin' north in the lonely sky
|
Tried to sleep, it warn't no use
|
'Cause I am a brother to the old wild goose
|
|
Oh, 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' fool or a heart at rest
|
|
Woman was kind and true to me
|
She thinks she loves me, more fool she
|
She's got a learn that ain't no use
|
To love a brother of the old wild goose
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
The cabin is warm and the snow is deep
|
I got a woman who lies asleep
|
She'll wake up tomorrow's dawn
|
She'll find, poor critter, that her man is gone
|
|
Oh, 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' fool or a heart at rest
|
Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly away
|
|
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 'side my bed
|
|
[Chorus]
