Goin' home. Goin' home. I'm a-goin' home. 
Quiet-like some still day, I'm just goin' home. 
It's not far, just close by, through an open door. 
Work all done, cares laid by, goin' to roam no more; 
Mother's there 'xpecting me, father's waiting, too, 
Lots of folks gathered there, all the friends I knew. 

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.
