Going Home Lyrics
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, care laid by, Going to fear no more.
Mother's there, expecting me, Father's waiting too.
Lots of folk gathered there, All the friends I knew.
