Detroit city  Bobby Bare

I want to go home, I want to go home
Oh Lord, I want to go home

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
I dreamed about my mother
dear old papa, sister and brother
And I dreamed about that girl
Who's been waiting for so long

I want to go home, I want to go home
Oh Lord, I want to go home

Home folks think I'm big in Detroit city
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
But by day I make the cars
by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines

I want to go home, I want to go home
Oh Lord, I want to go home

I rode a freight train north to Detroit city
After all these years I've been wasting my time
I'll take my foolish pride
On a southbound freight and ride
Go on back to the ones I've left waiting so far behind

I want to go home, I want to go home
Oh Lord, I want to go home
底特律市  巴比貝爾

我要回家,我想回家
上帝,我想回家

昨晚,我睡在底特律市
夢見了棉花田和我的家
我還夢見了母親、
年邁的父親和兄弟姐妹們
也夢見了那位女孩
她已經等我好久了

我要回家,我想回家
上帝,我想回家

鄉親們都以為我在底特律是個大人物
從我寫的信件中,他們認為我混得不錯
但是,白天我修理汽車
   晚上在酒吧上班
如果他們能從字裡行間看出來的話

我要回家,我想回家
上帝,我想回家

我搭乘北上的貨運列車到底特律市
過了這幾年,卻只是在浪費時間
我會收起愚蠢的自尊
坐上往南的貨運列車
回到那些我遺棄許久、卻始終等候的親人們身邊

我要回家,我想回家
上帝,我想回家
