Detroit City
Spoken:  
Well the cotton land played out every year 
And we went north to the big car factory up north
And you remember those car 1951 models
That you see driving around town that the fender were all beat up on
And the cars as been wreck and in bad shape I made those cars in Detroit

E                      B7               E  
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
A-0-1-2-|> B7                                E >>>>> A-------0-|               
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home     E-0-2-4---|               
    A                                E
I dreamed about my mother  dear old papa sister and brother
                                            B7      
And I dreamed about the girl who has been waiting for so long
    
           E                A            
I wanna go home  I wanna go home 
 B7      A        E
Oh how I wanna go home
 
E                    B7             E                      
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City
A-0-1-2-|> B7                                E >>>>> A-------0-|               
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine    E-0-2-4---|               
    A                                      E        
But by day I make the cars  by night I'm a makin' the bars
                         B7    
If only they could read between the lines

Spoken: 
E
But you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit city
And after all these years I find that I was wastin’ my time
So I think I’ll just take my foolish pride
Put it on a Southbound freight and ride 
And go home back to love’s one I left waitin’ behind

           E                A            
I wanna go home  I wanna go home 
 B7      A        E
Oh how I wanna go home
