Cry of the Wild Goose lyrics

(Chorus: 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 wandering foot or a heart at rest?

(Verse 1: Frankie Laine)

Tonight I heard the wild goose cry

Winging north in the lonely sky

Tried to sleep but it weren't no use

Because I am a brother to the old wild goose

(Chorus: The Easy Riders)

(Verse 2: Frankie Laine)

Woman 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 a brother of the old wild goose

(Chorus)

Oh, you wild goose

(Verse 3: Frankie Laine)

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

(Chorus: Frankie Laine)

Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly away

(Verse 4: Frankie Laine)

Spring is coming 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

(Chorus)

Wild goose, wild goose, wild goose, wild goose
