Ranzo (The Wild Goose)

 

Did you ever see a wild goose
sailing on the ocean 
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-hey! 
They're just like them pretty girls
when they gets the notion
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-hey


As I was walking one morning by the river-o
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-hey! 
I spied a fair maid
with her topsails all a-quiver-o
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-hey! 


I sleuthed up to her, says
“How are you, me darling?”
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-hey! 
She says, “None the better for seeing
the likes of you this morning.”
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-hey! 


Did you ever see a wild goose
sailing on the ocean?
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-hey! 
They’re just like them pretty girls
when they gets the notion
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-hey! 


You broke my heart oh you broke it full sore o'
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-hey!  
If I sail like the wild goose
you'll break it no more o'
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-hey!
