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

Yonder stepping that ol' lighten-walkin' wolf
Hungry as always
Long legs and long ears and tail
And a long, long will

I had no goose and I tried to keep her
And she awake and I'm the sleeper
She flew away left me the weeper

But there ain't no chills cold wind
Blowin' through our love nest
I feel your heart beat again
In the Wilderness

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
