    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 want to go home
    I want to go home
    Oh how I want to 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's just read between the lines

    They'd know I want to go home
    I want to go home
    Oh how I want to go home

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

    I want to go home
    I want to go home
    Oh how I want to 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's just read between the lines
