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
