Detroit City Lyrics

Last night I went to sleep in Detrot City
And I dreamed about the cotton fields back home.
Dreamed about my mother, dear old papa,
Sister and brother and I dreamed about the girl
Who's been waiting far 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.
