You know last night I went to sleep in Detroit city And I dreamed about those cottonfields and home I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sisters and brothers And I dreamed about a love whos been waiting there so long I want to go home I want to go home Oh how I want to go home My kinfolks think Im big in Detroit city From all the letters that I write, they think Im fine By day I make the cars, but by night I make on the bars Oh if only theyd just read between the lines Theyd know I want to go home I want to go home Oh how I want to go home You know I rode a freight train north to Detroit city And after all these years I find Ive just been wasting my time Think Ill put my foolish pride on a southbound train and ride Head on back to the loved ones I left there waiting there behind I want to go home I want to go home Oh how I want to go home I want to go home I want to go home Oh how I want to go home I want to go home Yes I want to go home Oh how I want to go home I want to go home Yes I want to go home Oh how I want to go home I want to go home I want to go
