This song is based on the true story of Andy the Footless Goose. The grave of Andy is located in Nebraska and is visited by hundreds every year.

lyrics

Andy the footless goose was born with only stumps
till a man made him shoes and taught him how to walk
Andy the footless goose soon became a draw for travelers on highway 6
children loved to watch as he waddled in those sneakers
Andy the footless goose went missing one afternoon
he was kidnapped and later murdered
his body was found weeks later
his head and wings had been removed
but those shoes were still on
they offered a reward for information
but his murderer was never found
no his murderer was never found
Andy the footless goose
he was a hero to so many crippled children
and yet his murderer was never found
ol' Andy the footless goose
he's up there dancing in his little shoes up in goose heaven
Andy the footless goose
inspiration to so many
