Wild Geese
Say, have you ever seen them wild geese sailing on the ocean?
Ranzo, ranzo, way-hey!
They look just like them pretty girls, when they gets the notion.
Ranzo, ranzo, way-hey!
As I walked out one morning down by the river,
Ranzo, ranzo, way-hey!
I spied a pretty fair maid, her tops'ls all a-quiver.
Ranzo, ranzo, way-hey!
I said, "Hello my pretty fair young maid, and how are you this morning?"
Ranzo, ranzo, way-hey!
She said, " None the better for the seeing of you!"
Ranzo, ranzo, way-hey!
So I went into a nearby inn, a place both cool and shady.
Ranzo, ranzo, way-hey!
I'd rather have me glass of rum than court a dockside lady.
Ranzo, ranzo, way-hey!
Say, have you ever seen them wild geese sailing cross the ocean?
Ranzo, ranzo, way-hey!
They look just like them pretty girls when they get the notion.
Ranzo, ranzo, way-hey!
