         DETROIT CITY   Bobby Bare

 C                     G7               C

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City

         G7                                 C   C7

And I dreamed about the cotton fields and home

     F                            C

I dreamed about mother dear old papa sister and brother

         D7

And I dreamed about the  girl 

             G7

who's been waiting for so long

CHORUS:

            C   C7              F    Bb  F

I wanna go home     I wanna go home

C          G7       C   F  C     

Oh, how I wanna go home



C                      G7             C

Home folks thinks I'm big in Detroit City

           G7                                 C  C7

From the letters that I write they think I'm fine

        F

But by day I make the cars

     C

By night I make the bars

    D7                                 G7

If only they could  read between the lines.



go to chorus, then recitation





Recitation



Cause you know I rode a freight train noth 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 in on the south-bound freight and ride



And  go on back to the loved ones



The ones that I left waiting so far behind.



go to chorus
