FRANKIE LAINE lyrics - Cry Of The Wild Goose

(Terry Gilkyson)



[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' fool or a heart at rest



Tonight I heard the wild goose cry

Hangin' north in the lonely sky

Tried to sleep, it warn'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, more fool she

She's got a learn that ain't no use

To love a brother of the old wild goose



[Chorus]



The cabin is warm and the snow is deep

I got a woman who lies asleep

She'll wake up tomorrow's dawn

She'll find, poor critter, that her man is gone



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

Let me fly, let me fly, let me 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 'side my bed



[Chorus]
