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. |
