Song information
Artist: Mel Tillis Album: Who's Julie
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 those cottonfields and home I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother And I dreamed about the girl that's been waiting for so long I wanna go home I wanna go home oh lord I wanna go home [ guitar ] Now the homefolks think I'm big in detroit city From the letters that I write they think I'm just fine By day I make the cars and by night I'm a makin' the bars Lord if only they could read between the lines As you know I rode a long black freight train way up north to detroit city But after all these years I find that well I've just been wastin' my time But you know what I think I'm gonna do folks I'm gonna take my foolish pride And put it on a southbound freight and ride I wanna go home I wanna go home oh lord I wanna go home
