Goin' Home
Words by William Arms FisherMusic by Antonín Dvořák; adapted as a song by William Arms FisherWritten 1922Tune GOIN' HOME / LARGO
Goin' home, goin' home,
I'm a-goin' home;
Quiet-like, some still day,
I'm jes' goin' home.
It's not far, jes' close by,
Through an open door;
Work all done, care laid by,
Gwine to fear no more.
Mother's there 'spectin' me,
Father's waitin' too;
Lots o' folk gathered there,
All the friends I knew.
Nothin's lost, all's gain,
No more fret nor pain,
No more stumblin' on the way,
No more longin' for the day,
Goin' to roam no more.
Mornin' star lights the way,
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break o' day,
Real life jes' begun.
There's no break, there's no end,
Jes' a-livin' on;
Wide awake, with a smile,
Goin' on and on.
Goin' home, goin' home,
I'm jes' goin' home;
It's not far, jes' close by,
Through an open door.
I'm jes' goin' home.
