Peter Stampfel - Cry of the Wild Goose lyrics

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

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?

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

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?

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

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?

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?

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?
