W:Goin' home, goin' home, I'm a goin' home;
W:Quiet-like, some still day, I'm jes' goin' home.
W:It's not far, jes' close by,
W:Through an open door;
W:Work all done, care laid by,
W:Goin' to fear no more.
W:Mother's there 'spectin' me,
W:Father's waitin' too;
W:Lots o' folk gather'd there,
W:All the friends I knew,
W:All the friends I knew.
W:Home, I'm goin' home!
W:
W:
W:Nothin lost, all's gain,
W:No more fret nor pain,
W:No more stumblin' on the way,
W:No more longin' for the day,
W:Goin' to roam no more!
W:Mornin' star lights the way,
W:Res'less dream all done;
W:Shadows gone, break o' day,
W:Real life jes' begun.
W:There's no break, there's no end,
W:Jes' a livin' on;
W:Wide awake, with a smile
W:Goin' on and on.
W:
W:
W:Goin' home, goin' home, I'm jes' goin' home,
W:goin' home, goin' home, goin' home!
Arrangement Note: The last 3 measures were dropped an octave to fit the range of the flute. You could use a 2nd flute, an octave higher, to play the original pitches.
