My heart knows what the wild goose knows, I must go where the wild goose goes. Wild goose, brother goose, which is best? A wanderin' foot or a heart at rest? Tonight I heard the wild goose cry, Wingin' north in the lonely sky. Tried to sleep, it weren't no use, 'Cause I am a brother to the old wild goose, (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' foot or a heart at rest?) Woman was kind and true to me. She thinks she loves me, the more fool she. She's got a love that ain't no use, To love a brother of the old 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' foot or a heart at rest?) (Oh, you wild goose.) The cabin is warm and the snow is deep, I got a woman who lies asleep. She'll wake at tomorrow's dawn, She'll find, poor critter, that her man is gone. (Oh, you 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 wanderin' foot or a heart at rest? Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly away. Spring is comin' and the ice will break, I can't linger for a woman's sake. She'll see a shadow pa** overhead. She'll find my feathers beside my bed. (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' foot or a heart at rest? (Wild goose, wild goose, wild goose, wild goose.)
