Jerry Lee Lewis Detroit City
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City D7 GAnd I
dreamed about those cotton fields and home C GI dreamed
about my mamma dear old papa sister and brother A7 D7And
I dreamed about the girl who has been waiting for so long
G G7 CI wanna go home I wanna go home G D7 GOh how I
wanna go home D7 GHome folks think I'm big in Detroit
City D7 GFrom the letters that I write they think I'm
fine C GBut by day I make the cars by night I'm a makin'
the bars A7 D7If 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 CI wanna go home I wanna go home G D7 GOh how I
wanna go home
