Winging north in the lonely sky
Cause I am the brother to
The cabin is warm and the snow is deep
I've got a woman who lies asleep
she'll find poor credit that her man is gone
My heart knows what the wild goose knows,
I must go where the wild goose goes
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wandering foot or a heart at rest?
My woman was kind and true to me
Think she loves me the more fool she
To love the brother to the old wild goose
My heart knows what the wild goose knows
I must go where the wild goose goes
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best
A wandering foot or a heart at rest?
Spring is coming and the ice will break,
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,
I must go where the wild goose goes.
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wandering foot or a heart at rest?
