Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City,
And I dreamed about the cotton fields at home.
I dreamed about my mother,
Dear old Papa, Sister and brother,
And I dreamed about the girl
Who's 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 make the bars,
If only they could read between the lines!
I wanna go home, I wanna go home,
oh, how I wanna go home!
Instrumental

Well you know,
I rode a freight train north to Detroit City.
And after all those years,
I find that I've been wastin' my time.
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride,
Put it on the ol' south bound freight and ride,
Goin' back to the love ones,
The ones I left waitin' so far behind.
I wanna go home, I wanna go home,
oh, how I want to go home.
oh, how I want to go home.
oh, how I want to ..... (Fade out)
