AND I [G]DREAMED ABOUT THE COTTON FIELDS AND [C]HOME[C7]

[F]I DREAMED ABOUT MY MOTHER, DEAR OLD [C]PAPA SISTER

AND BROTHER AND I [D] DREAMED ABOUT THE GIRL WHO'S BEEN [G] WAITING FOR SO LONG

CHORUS

[C] HOMEFOLKS THINK I'M [G] BIG IN DETROIT [C] CITY

FROM THE [G] LETTERS THAT I WRITE THEY THINK I'M[C] [C7] FINE

[D] IF THEY COULD ONLY READ BETWEEN THE LINES [G]

CHORUS

RECITATION

[C] CAUSE YOU KNOW I RODE A FREIGHT TRAIN NORTH TO

[G] DETROIT CITY [C]

AND AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I FIND I'VE JUST BEEN

WASTING MY TIME [G]

[C] SO I THINK I'LL[F] TAKE MY FOOLISH PRIDE AND PUT IT ON A

SOUTH BOUND FREIGHT

AND RIDE A[D]ND GO BACK TO THE LOVED ONES

THE ONES I[G] LEFT BEHIND

CHORUS
