Megan Hawken Negro Spiritual (14) Negro Spiritual 18 Mar 99


My mother is terminally ill and is planning her own funeral. She has requested three unusual songs that I am having trouble finding. The first one is an old spritual called "Goin' Home". I can kind of hear the tune in my head, but I don't know anymore words. The second song, I believe is from the 20s or 30s called "Hello Central, give me heaven" and the third has the words, "shuffle off to Buffalo" in it. I know these are not very great clues, and probably not considered "folk songs", but I'm having a heck of a time finding anything on the internet. If someone could just give me an idea as to where to look I would be very appreciative. Thanks
