The Ballad of Freida the Goose Songtext
von Wendell Kimbrough

Freida, where do you go when the snow falls?
Freida, why don′t you leave when the geese call?
You have landed here in our backyard
And you never wander very far

Freida, you pace through the grass with your webbed feet
Freida, there are no other geese here for you to meet
They have left here flying north toward home
Darling Freida, why are you here alone?


Freida, did you have someone you were close to?
Freida, did that someone die or abandon you?
Are you hurt or scared or trying to hide?
Do you need someone who's on your side?

Freida, all of us know how you feel
We′ve been hurt, dear, we've been hungry in search of a meal
But does the dirt here really taste so good
That you won't fly away when you know that you could?

Freida, find your way home
Freida, find your way home
It might not be perfect but it′s better than being alone (Freida, find your way home)
Freida, find your way home

Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
