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 Transcribed by Robin Hood These lyrics were transcribed from the specific recording mentioned above and do not necessarily correspond with lyrics from other recordings, sheet music, songbooks or lyrics printed on album jackets. |
