last night, singing with friends, and it was time to leave, we deliberately chose three parting songs: Joseph Spence's "and I bid you goodnight" (Bob Woodcock) Si Kahn's "this is my home" (Tina Liza Jones) Carter Family "You've been a friend to me" (Pete Peterson)

Tina says that she often closes with Lotus Dickey's setting of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Psalm of Life

Singing at nursing homes and wanting to leave them happily I often do "Show me the way to go home"
