The Wild Goose Lyrics by Wade Hemsworth

The Songs Of Wade Hemsworth

1995

[Verse 1]
On Pukaskwa river so early this morning
While mending my tumpline I hear the geese calling
Over the brule, long clamoring cry
Flying formation against the grey sky

[Chorus]
Comes the wild goose
The wild goose
High over the north shore
And I'm going home

[Verse 2]
The river is open but the lake's frozen over
It's time to pack out when so late in October
Winter's a-coming, the wild geese know
We've had a long fall and its time to go

[Chorus]
With the wild goose
The wild goose
High over the north shore
And I'm going home

[Verse 3]
I've made lots of money, got money to burn
And when I have spent it I know I'll return
After the freeze-up, when snow is dry
For to work in the tall woods-- I wish that I

[Chorus]
Were a wild goose
A wild goose
High over the north shore
And I'm going home

[Verse 4]
I've worked in the bush and spent money in town
I'd like to get married but I can't settle down
At the last portage, when I'll pack no more
Let me fly with the wild goose high over north shore

[Chorus]
With the wild goose
The wild goose
High over the north shore
And I'm going home
