Did You Ever See a Wild Goose?

[Intro]
(We'd like to recreate for you a type of song that came into existence about 1830
It's a sea shanty called "Did you ever see a wild goose?")

[Verse 1]
Did you ever see a wild goose sailin' on the ocean?
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-way
They're just like them young girls when they take a notion
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-way

[Verse 2]
I met a young woman a-walkin' by the river
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-way
And with every step she made her topsails quiver
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-way

[Verse 3]
I sleuthed up to her, says, "How are you, my darlin'?"
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-way
She said, "None the better for seein' you this mornin'''
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-way

[Verse 4]
Did you ever see a wild goose sailin' on the ocean?
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-way
They're just like them young girls when they take a notion
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-way, yeah
