4     5   5  5   5    5    
Last night I went to sleep 

6   6  5   -4 4 
in Detroit city

 5 -5    6    6 6    
And I dreamed about 

  6   -6  6    6    -5   5
those cotton fields and home

6   -6   -6 -6  -6 -6 -5  
I dreamed about my mamma,

 -6  -6  6 6
dear old papa,

 6 -6   6    5  4   
sister and brother,

  -4    5 -5   6    -6
dreamed about that girl 

 -6    -6    6  6  -5  5   -4
who's been waiting for so long

Chorus:

5  5   -4 -4  4  -6 -6   6  -6  -5 
I want to go home,I want to go home

6   6  -6  5   -4 -4  4
Oh Lord,I want to go home
