Detroit City
by Mel Tillis
G D7 G
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
D7 G
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
C G
I dreamed about my mamma dear old papa sister and brother
A7 D7
And I dreamed about the girl who has been waiting for so long
G G7 C
I wanna go home I wanna go home
G D7 G
Oh how I wanna go home
D7 G
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City
D7 G
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
C G
But by day I make the cars by night I'm a makin' the bars
A7 D7
If only they could read between the lines
recitation:
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
G G7 C
I wanna go home I wanna go home
G D7 G
Oh how I wanna go home

when he got to the talking part, but later recorded it and did an
outstanding job. You can find the song in Pure Country
