Lyrics:
I wanna go home, I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home. 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, sister and brother And I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long. I wanna go home, I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home. --- Instrumental --- Homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City From the letters that I write they think I'm fine But by day I make the cars, and by night I make the bars If only they could read between the lines. (Spoken) 'Cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City And after all these years I find I've just been wasting my time So I think I'll just take my follish pride An' Put it on a Southbound freight and ride (Sang) And go back to the loved ones The ones that I left behind. I wanna go home, I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home...
