Il testo della Detroit city

(i wanna go home, i wanna go home,)
(oh, how i want to go home.)

Last night, i went to sleep in detroit city,
And i dreamed about those cotton fields at home.
I dreamed about my mother,
Dear old papa, sister and brother,
I dreamed about that 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!

(spoken)
You know,
I rode a freight train north to detroit city.
And after all these years i find
I've just been wastin' my time.
So, i just think i'll take my foolish pride,
And i'll put on a south bound freight and ride,
And go on back to the love ones,
The ones i left waitin' so far behind.

(sang)
(i wanna go home, i wanna go home,)
(oh, how i want to go home)...
