Lyrics

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 pass 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.)
