Thread Name: Wild geese
Subject: RE: Wild geese
Then there's always "The Wild Goose" sung in the '40s by Frankie Laine:

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 ramblin' fool or a heart at rest.

It's kind of a folky pop tune on the order of "Ghost Riders in the Sky." I'ts not on the DT, and I don't remember the verses (it's also kind of phony folk, with nowhere near the beauty of any of the goosy songs posted above). --seed
