Help finding sheet music

[Carl.B]

I am looking for the sheet music and lyric's for “GOING HOME’ by Jack Teagarden.

My father in-law has terminal cancer and has requested this song be played at his funeral. I have searched the internet and can find nothing.

Here is a link to a You Tube link to the song.

Thank you for any help.

From all I can tell through googling, it appears the song is actually attributed to Dvorak. I found a score here. Check it out for yourself - if you recall (or maybe I'm just a nerd), Dvorak was brought to America to help America develop it's own 'music' and discovered that (in his opinion) it already had it's own music in the form of the Sprituals. That's what inspired the New World Symphony which many consider to be the beginnings of jazz harmony.

I'm a huge Wynton Marsalis fan and if you catch his show on XM radio on Wednesday nights he's generally teaching as much as he's playing and mentions Dvorak often as the originator of harmonies used in jazz, so it fits. Do let me know if this is what you're looking for as this would definitely connect a few synapses in my understanding of the development of jazz.

Oh, and very sorry for your father-in-law's situation. Prayers headed his way.

ETA: kind of hard to tell with the choir arrangements, but this instrumental excerpt seems to have the right melody (though at a slower tempo). Hope this helps.

Thank you Velorush, I didn't make the connection to Dvorak with the song.
