D              G       C          
        And now I see the wind
D                 F    Em
     blowin' from Northwest
D              G       C
   I hear them honkers again
D                  F   Em
     on their rambling quest...


     D      Am       C           Em
Over Lord's Valley I roll like a ball
     D      Am     C         Em 
 and in the wind I hear them call
     D            Am       C          Em
Wild goose, loose goose, I count them all  


D                       G             C
   Yonder steppin' that ol' light-walkin' wolf
D              F   Em
     hungry as al--ways
D                  G             C
     Long legs and long ears and tail
D                F    Em
     and a long, long will


     D          Am         C         Em
  I had an ol' goose and I tried to keep her
     D     Am      C     Em
 and she awake and I the sleeper
     D      Am      C      Em
 She flew away left me the weeper


D                       G          C
     But there ain't no chill cold wind
D                        F  Em
     blowin' through our love nest
D                G           C
     I feel your heart beat again
D                F    Em
     in the wil--der--ness...


     D      Am         C         Em       
   I had no goose and I tried to claim her
     D           Am       C        Em           
It's only in the wildness, can you name her
     D           Am       C        Em
It's only in the wildness, can you tame her
