G#
Now here's a little tale about a flock of geese
C#
Lookin' for a home and lookin' for a peace
D#
But before they're safely in the southern sand
C#                             D#           G#
They gotta watch out for the critter called man
There's a goose and a gander and a goslin' child
D#                      D#7          G#
Headin' on south at the call of the wild

Chorus:
D#
Honk and holler as we go
C#                     G#
Gonna see the Gulf of Mexico
D#
Way up high don't fly low
     C#                             G#
The long toms will get you from the old bayou

          G#
Well the wind from the north
it chills you to the bone
And the call of the wild is
callin' me come home
      C#
I'll lead my band of geese a marry trip
       G#
we'll navigate that mighty Mississippi'

Chorus - x2

My pappy led this band of twenty-three
And the second in command included me
He made one fatal slip and he flew too low
The long tom's got him from the old bayou

Chorus
