Detroit City
by Bobby Bare
1 5 1
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
5 1
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
4
I dreamed about my mmother
1
Dear old papa, sister and brother
2 4
I Dreamed about that girl who has been waiting for so long
Chorus:
1
I want to go home
4
I want to go home
1 5 1
Lord how, I want to go home
1 5 1
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit city
5 1
From the letters that I write, they think I'm fine
4
But by day I make the cars
1
By night I make the bars
2 5
If only they could read between the lines
Chorus
Spoken:
'Cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City
And after all these years I find I've just been wasting my time.
So I think I'll just take my foolish pride and put it on the
south bound freight and ride
And go on back to the loved ones, the ones I left waiting so
far behind.
Chorus
