Wild Goose Shanty Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Did you ever see a wild goose sailing on the ocean?
Ranzo, Ranzo, away-hey!
They're just like them young girls when they take the notion
Ranzo, Ranzo, away-hey!
[Verse 2]
I met a young woman a-walking by the river
Ranzo, Ranzo, away-hey!
And in every step she made her topsails quiver
Ranzo, Ranzo, away-hey!
[Verse 3]
I sleuthed up to her, says, “How are you, my darling?”
Ranzo, Ranzo, away-hey!
She says, "None the better for seeing you this morning.”
Ranzo, Ranzo, away-hey!
[Verse 4]
Did you ever see a wild goose sailing on the ocеan?
Ranzo, Ranzo, away-hey!
They're just likе them young girls when they take the notion
Ranzo, Ranzo, away-hey!
