I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh Lord, I wanna go home
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
And I dreamed about those cotton fields back home
Oh Lord
I dreamed about my mother
Dear old papa, my sisters and my brother
I dreamed about the girl that's been waiting for so long
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh Lord
ย
Lord, the home folks they think I'm a big man in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm doing fine
Oh Lord
By day I make the cars
And by night I'm making the bars
Oh if only they could read between the lines
Folks, y'all have been a wonderful audience
Have you had a good time tonight?
Alright
We certainly have had a good time
And I want to thank all of you for
Coming out and being with us tonight
I hope that you had a good time
I hope that we didn't hurt anybody's feelings
If we did, we didn't intend to
And I'd like to ask all of you if you would to come up and
Come up and visit with us sometime in Nashville, Tennessee
And visit the Grand Ole Opry
You'd love that
Gonna help me sing some more?
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh Lord, I wanna go home
ย
Let's get it up higher
Let's go up higher one time
Okay, everybody sing it
Here we go
Come on
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh Lord, I wanna go home
Good night everybody
God bless you
Thank you so much
