Detroit City chords
Bobby Bare 1963 (Danny Dill / Mel Tillis)
I want to go home, I want to 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 and home
I dreamed about my mother,
dear old papa, sister and brother,
And I dreamed about that girl,
whose been waitin' for so long
I want to go home, I want to go home
Oh, how I want to 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
I rode a freight train north to Detroit city
After all these years I've been wasting my time
I'll take my foolish pride,
on a southbound freight and ride
Go on back to the ones,
I've left waitin' so far behind
I want to go home, I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home
Set8
