Call of the Wild Songtext

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

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

Well, the wind from the north, it chills you to the bone
And the call of the wild is callin′ me, come home
I'll lead my band of geese a marry trip
We′ll navigate that mighty Mississipp'


Honk and holler as we go
Gonna see the Gulf of Mexico
Way up high, don′t fly low
The long toms will get you from the old bayou

Bayou

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

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

Honk and holler as we go
Gonna see the Gulf of Mexico
Way up high, don′t fly low
The long toms will get you from the old bayou
