1
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
2
Oh, how I wanna go home.
3
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
4
And I dreamed about those cottonfields and home
5
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother
6
And I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long.
7
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
8
Oh, how I wanna go home.
9
--- Instrumental ---
10
Homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City
11
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
12
But by day I make the cars, and by night I make the bars
13
If only they could read between the lines.
14
(Spoken)
15
'Cause 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 just take my follish pride
18
An' Put it on a Southbound freight and ride
19
(Sang)
20
And go back to the loved ones
21
The ones that I left behind.
22
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
23
Oh, how I wanna go home...
