The Cry of the Wild Goose

The Cry of the Wild Goose - Frankie laine

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' fool 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' fool 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' fool or a heart at rest

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 her man is gone

Oh

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' fool 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' fool or a heart at rest
