The Cry Of The Wild Goose 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
