Wild Goose Shanty

I'm the Shantyman of the Wild Goose Nation

(Hi-lo way, hi-lo way, hi-lo way, ho-line)

And I left my wife on the old plantation

(All-o way, me boys, all-o way)

On my first day away from the Wild Goose Nation

(Hi-lo way, hi-lo way, hi-lo way, ho-line)

I’m beginning to regret and lament my situation

(All-o way, me boys, all-o way)

For it’s do this and do that and mind your station

(Hi-lo way, hi-lo way, hi-lo way, ho-line)

All ya lousy son of the Wild Goose Nation

(All-o way, me boys, all-o way)

So I turned ‘er right around and I gave him a lambastian

(Hi-lo way, hi-lo way, hi-lo way, ho-line)

I said, “I’m not your son of the Wild Goose Nation”

(All-o way, me boys, all-o way)

So now I’m a ramblin’ man of the Wild Goose Nation

(Hi-lo way, hi-lo way, hi-lo way, ho-line)

And I’m off to America to get an education

(All-o way, me boys, all-o way)
