Thread Name: Lyr Req: Going Home (Dvorak)
Subject: Lyr Add: GOIN' HOME (Colyer, Dvorak)
Here is the Colyer version as rendered by Van and Lonnie referred to above. Apologies to Colyer's banjo player, John Bastable and Bill Cole on bass for not remembering their names.

GOIN'HOME
(Dvorak/Colyer)

Goin' home
He's goin' home
He'll be leavin' here today
But if he don't leave now
He won't be goin' nowhere

If home is where the heart is
Then my home's in New Orleans
Take me to that land of dreams
Lord and if I don't leave now
I won't be goin' nowhere

Goin' home
He's goin' home (yeah yeah)
He's leavin' here today
Well if you don't leave now
You won't be goin' nowhere

What you say
And what you do
Well it's tight like that
And I'm telling you
Well if I don't leave now
I won't be goin' nowhere (nowhere, nowhere)

Well if I don't leave now
I won't be goin' nowhere
Well if I don't leave now
I won't be goin' nowhere

Probably better notharvested for the DT as the Ken Colyer Trust guard his legacy jealously
