[Lyric] Wildegeeses (RF Shannon)

[Verse 1]
And now I see the wind
Blowin' from northwest
I hear them honkers again
On their rambling quest
Over Lord's Valley I roll like a ball
And in the wind I hear them call
Wild goose, loose goose, I count them all

[Verse 2]
Yonder stepping that ol' light-walkin' wolf
Hungry as always
Long legs and long ears and tail
And a long, long will
Well, I had no goose and I tried to keep her
And she awake and I the sleeper
She flew away, left me the weeper

[Verse 3]
But now there ain't no chill-cold wind
Blowin' through our love nest
I feel your heart beat again
In the wilderness
But I had no goose and I tried to claim her
It's only in the wildness can you name her
It's only in the wildness can you tame her
