I thought I just heard the wild goose cry,
Winging south in the northern sky.
I could try to stay, but there ain't no use,
'Cause I'm a brother to the old wild goose.
Chorus:
His heart knows what the wild goose knows
And he must go where the wild goose goes.
Wild goose brother goose which is best.
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest.
Oh you wild goose.
You're mesmerized by my dulcit tones
But, stop the presses and hold the phones
You gotta learn that there ain't no use
Loving the brother of the old wild goose.
Chorus
His heart knows what the wild goose knows
And he 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.
Let him fly, let him fly, let him fly away!
Sayonara, farewell, adios bonsoir,
Awfwiedersehen, good bye, aurevoir.
Can you deduce that i must vamoose,
'Cause I'm a brother of the old wild goose.
Chorus
His heart knows what the wild goose knows
And he must go where the wild goose goes.
Wild goose brother goose which is best.
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest.
Wild goose, brother goose, wild goose, brother goose.
