| Lyrics: | 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
CHORUS
(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 love
that ain't no use
To love a brother of the old wild goose
CHORUS
The cabin is warm and the snow is deep
And I got a woman who lies asleep
She'll
wake up tomorrow's dawn
And 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
And
she'll find a feather 'side her bed
CHORUS |
