My heart knows
Whatthe wild goose knows
And I must go
Where the wild goose goes
Wild goose brother goose
Which is best
Awanderin' foot
Or a heart at rest
Tonight I heard
The wild goose cry
Winging north
In the lonely sky
I tried to sleep
But itwasn't no use
'Cause I am a brother
To the old wild goose
[My heart knows
Whatthe wild goose knows
And I must go
Where the wild goose goes
Wild goose brother goose
Which is best
Awanderin' foot
Or a heart at rest ]
Awoman was kind
And true to me
She thinks she loves me
The more fool she
She's gotta learn
That it ain't no use
To love the brother
Of the old wild goose
[My heart knows
Whatthe wild goose knows
And I must go
Where the wild goose goes
Wild goose brother goose
Which is best
Awanderin' foot
Or a heart at rest
Waa- ooo wild goose]
The cabin is warm
And the snow is deep
I've got a woman
Who lies asleep
Butwhen she wakes
Attomorrow's dawn
She'll find poor critter
That herman is gone
My heart knows
Whatthe wild goose knows
And I must go
Where the wild goose goes
Wild goose brother goose
Which is best
Awanderin' foot
Or a heart at rest
Letme fly letme fly
Letme 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
She'll find a feather
Beside my bed
[My heart knows
Whatthe wild goose knows
And I must go
Where the wild goose goes]
Wild goose brother goose
Which is best
Awanderin' foot
Or a heart at rest
