Additional notes/lyrics for "Goin’ Home"
- "The Largo, with its haunting English horn solo, is the outpouring of Dvořák’s own home-longing, with something of the loneliness of far-off prairie horizons, the faint memory of the red-man’s bygone days, and a sense of the tragedy of the black-man as it sings in his ‘spirituals.’ Deeper still it is a moving expression of that nostalgia of the soul all human beings feel. That the lyric opening theme of the Largo should spontaneously suggest the words ‘Goin’ home, goin’ home" is natural enough, and that the lines that follow the melody should take the form of a [N]egro spiritual accords with the genesis of the symphony." William Arms Fisher (1861-1948), Boston, July 21, 1922. (From the introduction to the score of "Goin’ Home," an adaptation of the second movement of Dvořák’s New World Symphony with added text)
Goin’ Home
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, care laid by,
Goin’ to fear no more.
Mother’s there ‘spectin’ me
Father’s waitin’ too;
Lots of folk gathered there,
All the friends I knew.
Home, home, I’m goin’ home!
Nothin’ lost, all’s gain,
No more fret nor pain,
No more stumblin’ on the way,
No more longin’ for the day,
Goin’ to roam no more!
Mornin’ star lights the way
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Real life just begun.
Dere’s no break, ain’t no end,
Just a livin’ on;
Wide awake, with a smile
Goin’ on and on.
Goin’ home, goin’ home,
I’m just goin’ home,
It’s not far, just close by
Through an open door.
