Last night, I went to sleep in Detroit City
And I dreamed about those cotton fields back home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother
And I dreamed about that girl who's waited for so long
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
Oh, Lord, I wanna go home
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
By day I make the cars, by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines
You know I rode the freight train, north to Detroit City
And after so many years, well, I find that
I just wasted my life here all alone
I believe I'm gonna put my foolish pride
On a Southbound freight and I'm gonna ride
That's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna go back to that girl who loves me
And who's waited so long
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
Oh, Lord, I wanna go home
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
