I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home<br />
<br />
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City<br />
<br />
And I dreamed about those cottonfields and home<br />
<br />
I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother<br />
<br />
And I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long<br />
<br />
I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home<br />
<br />

<br />
Old homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City<br />
<br />
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine<br />
<br />
But by day I make the cars and by night I make all the bars<br />
<br />
If only they could read between the lines<br />
<br />
Now you know I rode the freight train north to Detroit City<br />
<br />
And I've drove this while I find I've just been wastin' my time<br />
<br />
So I think I'm gonna pack up my foolish pride put it on that Southbound train and ride<br />
<br />
And I'll go back to the loved ones the ones I left behind<br />
<br />
I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home<br />
<br />
