The Cry of the 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' 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
