You know last night i went to sleep in detroit city And i dreamed about those cotton fields and home I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sisters and brothers And i dreamed about a love who's 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 i'm big in detraoit city From all the letters that i write, they think i'm fine By day i make the cars But, by night i make all the bars Oh if only they's just read between the lines They'd 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 i've been wasting my time Think i'll put my foolish pride on a southbound train and ride Heading back to the loved ones i left there waiting behind Repeat chorus
