Detroit City

    Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
    And I dreamed about those cottonfields back home
    I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother
    And I dreamed about that girl who's waited for so long
    I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home
    [ guitar ]
    Homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City
    From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
    By day I make the cars by night I make the bars
    If only they could read between the lines
    You know I rode the freight train north to Detroit City
    And after so many years well I find that I just wasted my life here all alone
    I believe I'm gonna put my foolish pride on a Southbound freight and I'm gonna ride
    That's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go back to that girl who loves me
    And who's waited so long
    I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home
    [ guitar ]
    I wanna go home I wanna go home
