Anybody know the singer's name and song title with chorus lyrics - "I'm coming home to see my father, I coming home to see my mother". The music was played in the background during the last episolde of Hell In The Pacific on the History Chanel.

I believe it's 'I'm Coming Home (To See My Mother)'

I have found two versions... one by a certain Clifton Chenier, or another by original Slint member David Pajo, recorded during his days as Papa M.

Hi benjaminjin, Many thanks for the reply, I will check out the artists. All the best, Darragh

Hi Darragh

I just found out that the Papa M version is titled 'Crossing Over Jordan' - same lyrics though... Sorry I can't help any more than that.

Would it be Eva Cassidy,Wayfareing Stranger?

Hi Lindapinda, Yep it is the correct song only, the artist is from the 50's or 60's judging by the orchestration in the background. Thanks for the help. Darragh
