I think it was "morning" from Dvoraks New World Symphony
It is an old negro spiritual called " Going home"
The basis of the song is of an old man who is dying and he sees his death as " going home"
Dvorak's New World symphony, wasn't it?
Yes,it was Dvorak's New World Symphony,and it was directed by Ridley Scott.
I thought it was 'going home'

we used to sing it at the end of each school year, not sure why a song about death was appropriate.

I have always love the parody sung by Tony Capstick

'Capstick comes home' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32eSB0ZRPxQ&fea ture=related
Here it is with the Going Home lyrics....

The Capstick parody is lovely, I've just added it to my favourites :-)
its is good isnt it. My mums family come from yorkshire so we always had a giggle over the song.
Pointless piece of trivia: the hill is NOT in Yorkshire. It's Gold Hill in Shaftesbury, Dorsetshire.
That's a beautiful place. Is the Capstick parody the same place as well? I want to go there.
"Going Home" was taken from the New World Symphony
thanks everyone it it the one by tony capstick but i must say that the one coming home is brilliant i have never heard this before thanks again everone
