A song to celebrate the spirit of an old friend now departed. File 2 is a :24 guitar break. Enjoy!

v1 goin’ home to macon.
the town where i was born,
a good friend of mine just passed away,
but there ain’t no cause to mourn,
he was always runnin’ after freedom,
but the angels have got him now,
and he’s free, as he’s ever gonna be, and his ashes are dancin’,
on the river

v2 one story buildings and ghosts of the past,
so familiar wherever you go,
that old ocmulgee river took him down to the gulf of mexico,
he’d gone down there lots of times,
but never quite that way,
now he;s free as he’s ever gonna be, and his ashes are dancin’, on the river

v3 just before sunrise, i took a look around,
saw tall steeples in the sky,
of the little red-brick town,
from such humble beginnings,
came a man with a loving heart,
now he’s free, as he’s ever gonna be, and his ashes are dancin’,
on the river
