Lyrics

[Verse 1] Last night I heard the wild goose cry Wingin' north in the lonely sky I tried to sleep but it weren't no use 'Cause I am a brother to the old wild goose [Chorus] 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? [Verse 2] The cabin is warm, the snow is deep I got a woman who lies asleep When she wakes at tomorrow's dawn She'll find, poor critter, that her man is gone [Chorus] My heart knows what the wild goose knows And I must go wherе the wild goose goes Wild goosе, brother goose, which is best? A wanderin' foot or a heart at rest? [Verse 3] Spring is comin' and the ice will break I can't linger for a woman's sake She'll see a shadow passin' overhead She'll find a feather beside my bed [Chorus] 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? [Chorus] 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? [Chorus] 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? At reeeeee-eeeeee-eeest
