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,
And 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.
After all these years,
I find that I've just been wastin' my time.
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride,
Put on a 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.
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, And 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 want to go home. Explain Request ×
