Answer 1

Van Morrison - I Wanna Go Home



Sailed on the sloop john b

My granddaddy and me

'round nassau town we did roam

We'd been drinkin' all night

Well i got into a fight

Yeah and i feel so broke up

I wanna go home



Hoist up the john b sail's

See how the mainsail sets

Send for the captain ashore

And let me go home

I wanna go home, i wanna go home, yeah

'cause i feel so broke up, i wanna go home

Yes i do

(he's so broke up, lord, i wanna go home)



Well captain's a wicked man

He gets drunk any time he can

And he don't give a damn for grandpappy

No, nor me

He kicks us around

And he knocks us about

Well i feel so broke up, i

I wanna go home



Well pull up the john b's sails

See how the mainsail sets

Send for the captain ashore

And let me go home

I wanna go home

Well, i wanna go home

'cause i feel so broke up (he's so broke up)

I wanna go home

(yes i do)

I feel so broke up

(he so broke up)

Lord, that i wanna go home

Answer 2

Actually it's a country song. Detroit City is the name first recorded by Bobby Bare Here are the lyrics.



Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City,

and I dreamed about those cotton fields at home.

I dreamed about my mother,

dear old Papa, Sister and brother,



I dreamed about that girl

who's been waiting for so long.

I wanna go home, I wanna go home,

oh, how I wanna 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,

and by night I make the bars,

If only they could read between the lines!



[Spoken]



You know,

I rode a freight train north to Detroit City.

After all these years,

I find that I've just been wastin' my time.

So I just think I'll take my foolish pride,

put on a south bound freight and ride,

Goin' back to the love ones,

The ones I left waitin' so far behind.



I wanna go home, I wanna go home,

oh, how I want to go home.
