Going Home (Bagpipes)

Dvoraks New World Symphony. "Going Home" is an old Negro song, its said, based on an old man in his final days who sees his own death.

A beautiful piece, with a really nice version by Libera (also on YouTube).

Lyrics:

1. Going home. Going home. I'm a-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, cares laid by, Going to fear no more;

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

2. Morning star lights the way, restless dream all done.
Shadows gone, break of day, real life 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.
