1
I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home
2
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
3
And I dreamed about those cottonfields and home
4
I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother
5
And I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long
6
I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home
7
[ guitar ]
8
Old homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City
9
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
10
But by day I make the cars and by night I make all the bars
11
If only they could read between the lines
12
Now you know I rode the freight train north to Detroit City
13
And I've drove this while I find I've just been wastin' my time
14
So I think I'm gonna pack up my foolish pride put it on that Southbound train and ride
15
And I'll go back to the loved ones the ones I left behind
16
I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home
17
[ guitar ]
