The Cry of the Wild Goose Lyrics
The Cry Of The Wild Goose - Tennessee Ernie Ford
Written by：Gilkyson
Tonight I heard
The wild goose cry
Wingin' north
In the lonely sky
Tried to sleep
But it ain't no use
'Cause I am the brother
To 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
The cabin is warm
And the snow is deep
And I've got a woman
She lies asleep
When she wakes
At tomorrow's dawn
She'll find
Poor critter
That her man is gone
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
My woman was kind and true to me
Thinks she loves me the mournful she
She's gotta learn that it ain't no use
To love the brother to 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
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 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
