Detroit City Lyrics

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
I dreamed about my mamma dear old papa sister and brother
And I dreamed about the girl who has been waiting for so long

I wanna go home I wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home

Home folks 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 by night I'm a makin' the bars
If only they could read between the lines

recitation:

As you know I rode a long black freight train

Way up north to Detroit City

But after all these years I find that well

I've just been wastin' my time

But you know what I think I'm gonna do folks

I'm gonna take my foolish pride

And put it on a Southbound freight and ride


I wanna go home I wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home
