"The Cry of the Wild Goose" is a 1950 song written by Terry Gilkyson. Originally performed by Frankie Laine, the song was the third of three consecutive number-one hits for him, following the previous year's hits "That Lucky Old Sun" and "Mule Train". The song was released as a 78 rpm vinyl record in early 1950 by Mercury Records with a catalog number of 5363.
The Laine version spent two weeks at number-one on the Billboard Most Played by Jockeys music chart in March 1950.[1]
The song was later covered by Tennessee Ernie Ford.
