Lyrics

When the day is good, and the wind is dry,

And the goose is hanging high,

I can't work like other men do,

When the goose is hanging high.

When the sun is bright in the big, blue sky,

And the goose is hanging high,

The devil steals my heart away

When the goose is hanging high.

Gold and silver on my mind

Mischief in my soul

I wanna 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,

When the goose is flying low.

But...when...the...

Day is good, and the wind is dry,

And 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!
