And now I see the wind
Coming from Northwest
And I hear those honkers again
On their rounding quest

Over lords valley, I roll like a ball
And in the wind, I hear them call
Wild goose loose goose
I count them all

Yonder stepping that old white walking wolf
Hungry as always
Long legs and long ears and tail
And a long, long wail

I had an old goose and I tried to keep her
But she awake and I the sleeper
She flew away and left me the weeper

But there ain't no chill cold wind
Blowin' through our love nest
And I hear your heartbeat again
In the wilderness

I had an old 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
