CHORUS:
EI wanna go home, I wanna go Ahome..Eoh, how I Bwanna go Ehome.
#1.
ELast night I went to Bsleep in Detroit ECity.
And I Bdreamed about those cotton fields and Ehome.
I Adreamed about my mother dear, old Epapa, sister and brother.
I Gbdreamed about that girl who's been Bwaiting for so long.
CHORUS:
I wanna go Ehome, I wanna go Ahome, Eoh, how I Bwanna go Ehome.
#2.
BHome folks think I'm Gbbig in Detroit BCity.
From the Gbletters that I write they think I'm Bfine.
But by Eday I make the cars, by Bnight I make the bars.
If Dbonly Fbthey could Dbread between the Gblines.
SPOKEN:
CCause you Gbknow I rode the Bfreight train north to Detroit City.
And after all these Gbyears I find I've just been Bwastin' my time
So, I just Ethink I'll take my Afoolish Epride..put it on a Southbound
Bfreight and ride.
And go on back to the Dbloved ones, the ones that I left waitin'
so Gbfar behind.
OUTRO:
I wanna go Bhome, I wanna go Ehome, Boh, how I Gbwanna go Bhome.
