Going to Detroit Michigan, Girl I can't take you Hey I'm going to Detroit Michigan, Girl, you got to stay here behind Going to get me a job, On the Cadillac assembly line I'm tired of whooping and hollering Up and down the Mississippi road Oh I'm tired of whooping and hollering Picking that nasty cotton Gonna catch me a bus up North, I won't have to keep saying, yes Sir. Boss (Guitar Solo) Going to Detroit Michigan, Girl I can't take you Hey I'm going to Detroit Michigan, Girl, you got to stay here behind Going to get me a job, On the Cadillac assembly line Well, girl if you'll be alright, And keep your blue jeans zipped up tight When I make my first check, I'll put you on the Delta jet, hey, hey I'm gonna send for you darling Won't you come on home (Guitar Solo)
