 -4    5   5   5   5   6    6  6   5    -4 4
Last night I went to sleep in De-troit Cit-y
 5  -5   6    6  6     6    -6  6    6     -5   5
And I dreamed a-bout those cot-ton fields and home
6    -6   6  -6   6   6  -5    5   -5  6  6   6  -6   6    5    4
I dreamed a-bout my moth-er, dear old pa-pa, sis-ter and broth-er
 4  4    -4   5  -5   -5   6    5     5    6   5   -5  4  -4 
And I dreamed a-bout the girl who's been wait-ing for so long

Chorus (Repeat after each verse)
5  5   5 -4   4
I wan-na go home
-6 -6 -6  6   -5 
I wan-na  go home
 6   6  -6 5   5  -4   4
Oh, how I wan-na  go home

Verse 2
 -4   5    5     5    5   6   6  6   5    -4 4
The home folks think I'm big in De-troit Cit-y
  5   -5  6  6     6  6   -6     6    6    -5   5
From the letters that I write, they think I'm fine
 6  -6 -6 -6   6   -5    5   -5   6   6   6   -6   5 
By day I make the cars, but, by night I make the bars
 4  4 -4   5   -5     6    5  -4   4    -5
If on-ly they could read  between the lines.
 

As 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 just think I'll take my foolish pride and
Put it on a south-bound freight and ride 
Going back to the loved ones, the ones I left waiting so far behind
 

I wanna go home
I wanno go home
Oh, how I wanna go home
