When the Goose Is Hanging High

When the day is good, and the wind is dry

When the goose is hanging high

I can't work like other men do

And the goose is hanging high

There's a big, bright sun in the big, blue sky

When the goose is hanging high

And the devil steals my heart away

And the goose is hanging high

Gold and silver on my mind

Mischief in my soul

I gotta live like the rich man lives

With life in my control

When the day is bad, and the wind is wet

And the goose is flying low

I gotta work like other men do

And the goose is flying low

But when the day is good, and the wind is dry

When the goose is hanging high

I can't work like other men do

When the goose is hanging high

When the goose is hanging high
