Frankie Laine - Cry of the Wild Goose lyrics

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 love that ain't no use

To love a brother of 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?

The cabin is warm and the snow is deep

And I got a woman who lies asleep

She'll wake up tomorrow's dawn

And 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

And she'll find a feather 'side her bed

((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?
