1
I want to go home, I want to go home,
2
Oh Lord, I want to go home.
3
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city,
4
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home,
5
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother,
6
And I dreamed about that girl, who's been waitin' for so long
7
I want to go home, I want to go home,
8
Oh Lord, I want to go home
9
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit city,
10
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine,
11
But by day I make the cars, and by night I make the bars,
12
If only they could read between the lines
13
I want to go home, I want to go home,
14
Oh Lord, I want to go home
15
You know, I rode a freight train north to Detroit city,
16
And after all these years I find I've just been wasting my time,
17
So I think I'll take my foolish pride, put it on a southbound freight and ride,
18
Go on back to the ones I left, who've been waitin' for so long
19
I want to go home, I want to go home,
20
Oh Lord, I want to go home.
