(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)...
