Goin' to Detroit, Michigan |
|
Girl, I can't take you |
|
Hey, I'm goin' to Detroit, Michigan |
|
Girl, you got to stay here behind |
|
Goin' to get me a job |
|
On the Cadillac assembly line |
|
I'm tired of whoopin' and hollerin' |
|
Up and down the Mississippi road |
|
Hey, I'm tired of whoopin' and hollerin' |
|
Pickin' that nasty cotton |
|
Gonna catch me a bus up North |
|
I won't have to keep sayin' yes, sir, boss |
|
Goin' to Detroit, Michigan |
|
Girl, I can't take you |
|
Hey, I'm goin' to Detroit, Michigan |
|
Girl, you got to stay here behind |
|
Goin' to get me a job |
|
On the Cadillac assembly line |
|
Well, girl, if you'll be alright |
|
And keep your blue jeans zipped up tight |
|
When I make my first check |
|
I'll put you on the Delta jet, hey hey |
|
I'm gonna send for you, darlin' |
|
Won't you come on home |
