Going Home


Going Home

Sung by Paul Robeson
Carnegie Hall
May 9, 1958

(arr. William Fisher)
{set to the music of Dvorak's 9th Symphony, third movement}


Going home, going home,

I'm just going home;
Quiet-like, some still day,

I'm just going home.

It's not far, just close by,
Through an open door;
Work all done, care laid by,
Going to fear no more.

Mother's there expecting me,
Father's waiting too;
Lots of folks gathered there,
All the friends I knew,
All the friends I knew.

Home, Home, I'm going home!

Nothing lost, all’s gain,
No more fret nor pain,
No more stumbling on the way,
No more longing for the day,
Going to roam no more!

Morning star lights the way,
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Real life’s just begun.

There's no break, there's no end,
Just a living on;
Wide-awake, with a smile
Going on and on.

Going home, going home,

I'm just going home,
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door.

I’m just going home.

GOING HOME!
