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. |
