Detroit City

I want to go home, I want to go home,
Oh Lord, I want to go home,
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city,
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home,
I dreamed about my mother,
dear old papa, sister and brother,
And I dreamed about that girl,
whose been waitin' for so long,
I want to go home, I want to go home,
Oh Lord, I want to go home,
Home folks think I’m big in Detroit city,
From the letters that I write they think I’m fine,
But by day I make the cars,
by night I make the bars,
If only they could read between the lines,
I want to go home, I want to go home,
Oh Lord, I want to go home,
I rode a freight train north to Detroit city,
After all these years I’ve been wasting my time,
I’ll take my foolish pride,
on a southbound freight and ride,
Go on back to the ones,
EI’ve left waitin' so far behind,
I want to go home, I want to go home,
Oh Lord, I want to go home.
