Ferlin Husky - Detroit City Lyrics



Ferlin Husky - Detroit City Lyrics




Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City

And I dreamed about the cottonfields and home

I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother

I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home

Now homefolks 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 and at night I make the bars

If only they could read between the lines

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home

I rode the freight train north to Detroit City

And after all these years I find that I've just been wastin' my time

So I think I'll take my foolish pride get on a Southbound freight and ride

And go on back to the loved ones all the loved ones that I left waiting so far behind

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home

Oh Lord I wanna go home
