Last night I went to sleep  (A major) in Detroit City  (D major) 
A 
And I dreamed  (A major) about those
D 
A 
D 
cotton fields  (D major) and home  (A major)  (D major) 
G 
I dreamed  (G major) about my mother dear
D 
old papa  (D major) sister and brother
E 
I  (E major) dreamed about that girl who's
A 
been  (A major) waiting for so long
D

Home folks think I'm  (E major) big in Detroit City  (A major) 
E 
From the  (E major) letters that I write
A 
they think I'm  (A major) fine
D 
But by  (D major) day I make the cars
A 
by night  (A major) I make the bars
B 
If  (B major) only they could read
E 
A 
between the  (E major) lines  (A major) 
E 
Cause you know  (E major) I rode the freight
A 
train north  (A major) to Detroit City
E 
And after  (E major) all these years I find I've
A 
just been wastin' my  (A major) time
D 
So I just think  (D major) I'll take my foolish pride
A 
And put it on  (A major) a  Southbound
freight and ride
B 
And go on  (B major) back to the loved ones the
E 
 (E major) ones that I left waitin' so far behind
A 
D 
 (A major) I wanna go home I wanna go  (D major) home
A 
E 
A 
 (A major) oh how I  (E major) wanna go  (A major) home
