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!
