Lyrics of Detroit city

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 wanna to go home, i wanna to go home
Oh, how i wanna go home

My kinfolks think i'm big in detroit 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'd just read between the lines

They'd know i wanna to go home, i wanna go home
Oh, how i wanna go home

You know i rode a freight train north to detroit city
And after all these years i find i've just been wasting my time
Think i'll put my foolish pride on a southbound train and ride
Head on back to the loved ones i left waiting there behind

I wanna to go home, i wanna to go home
Oh, how i wanna go home
I wanna to go home, i wanna to go home
Oh, how i wanna go home

I wanna to go home, yes, i wanna to go home
Oh, how i wanna go home
I wanna to go home, yes, i wanna to go home
Oh, how i wanna go home

I wanna to go home
