Lyrics:

I wanna go home, I wanna go home
Oh Lord I wanna go home

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City 
And I dreamed about the cotton fields at home 
And I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother 
And I dreamed about the girl who's been waitin' for so long 

I wanna go home I wanna go home 
Oh, Lord I wanna go home 

The 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, Lord I wanna go home
