Lyrics:
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
I dreamed about them cotton fields of home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old pappy, sister and brother
And I dreamed about the girl who's been waitin' for so long
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm just fine, yes they do
But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines
‘cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City
And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna take my foolish pride
Get it on a southbound freight and let it ride
I'm gonna go back to the loved ones
The ones I left waiting so far behind
I want to go home, yeah
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home (Can't you hear me?)
I want to go home
Whoa, baby I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home (Somebody help me)
I want to go home, yeah
I want to go home, whoa oh
Oh, how I want to go home
Hmm, I want to go home...
Skøn gammel sang af. Bobby bare
@@solveigskovdal8648 thank you for the words.
Thanks for posting the words. I already knew every word, been singing it since I was a little girl. I sang along every word. Oh how I wanna go home
Ya know, I could sing this and Five Hundred Miles backwards. Every yr on my daddy's birthday I go to the cemetary about a block from.my Apt. and I listen to this with my daddy. Some might think it's morbid of me but I've been doing it since he passed in 2006 and I'll do it until I join him , mama and brother in Heaven
My beloved (L) used to play this Album when we were young. What a beautiful song and a great singer. Miss my Dad so much. 🥰🇮🇳
From 1965 to 1968 I was in the army and listening to Bobby Bare made everything so much easier. Now it's 2023 and still love his songs.
Who besides me is still listening & loving Bobby Bare in 2021? Still one of the greatest, doesn’t get the recognition he truly deserves.
I still listen and like bobby bare
Iam love this guy
I am long live Bobby, you are one of the best. thanks.
ME!!! He was before mine time but i came to love him and many others too.
Lol, welcome to the club.
As a kid in the 70s, my dad and I would sing along to this song and many others we had on 8 track cassette. Damn,i miss those days .
Same here, though I lived very far from you (Spain), but humans are all the same after all.
We used to listen to song like this on the cassettes: Lynn Anderson, Kitty Wells and many otthers. I try to do the same thing with my kids now.
For us oldsters, anyone who loves the guitar and superb lyrics, this song is one of the most memorable. It is timeless.
Hey Mr. Flanagan, from Newcut Rd. in Louisville Ky!
Yes, it is.
Mr.John, great comment coming from you & your state of Chet Atkins, Bill Monroe, Ricky Scaggs, and many others.
well said. at 77 i wish the ones we grew up with were still with us
THAT was music!
Da Nang 1969 Everywhere you went inside our Marine camp you'd here this song playing and man did it make you yearn for the home that you couldn't wait to leave and then the rockets would hit all around us and for a second you were back in VietNam. I made it out, I was medevacked out in April of 70 to Japan. Home is where I'm still living at 70 years old I'm still in Cincy and gawd I still listen to this song.
Semper Fi! Lima 4/11, Hill 55, March 68-July 69.
Glad you made it back.
From Canada...Thank You for your service! God Bless you Sir!
We always played We gotta get out of this place -- The Animals ..
Wishing you the very best in your life.
Bobby Bare is one of the best singers ive ever heard. He is still alive. Still do ing shows.
May GOD bless him with good health. 🙏💓
As someone who was born in Alabama but grew up in metropolitan Detroit, I've always loved this song.
🎉,
Der beste Country Song ever
I grew up listening to this with my parents who are no longer here.This reminds me of the happy times with them ,miss them so much.😢
There are many country singers who are just as good as Bobby, but there is no one better.
I mean, if he saw Detroit now, man would be singing a different tune.
sad to say Detroit went down the shi__________r,
Amazing he's still around. Bobby Bare, glad you are still here with us. One of the few still left.
The great Bobby when country music was worth listening to.
Amen!
@Bobby Bare North Carolina 👍😊
A truly classic country song, much appreciated!!!
@PINNED ♟by Parker McCollum🔹 hi
@Brantley Gilbert 🔹 hi
Country was so good back in the day.
Oh yes, it was!! The first version of this song I heard as a small kid back in the early 80s was by Dean Martin!
@TheJanka51 I would say that it was still pretty good into the 90s, after which it became unrecognizable garbage! But yes, the late 60s, 70s and early 80s were the BEST years of country music. Merle Haggard, Glen Campbell, Billie Jo Spears, ....and I could go on and on and on.
alltimes good.
Better then today's wacky country music......music with no meaning to it and no style. The real country music....is 50s, 60s and 70s. Of my generation.
Absolutely.....right on that!! Today's country music...sucks!! No meaning or rhythm to it, like when I was growing up in the 60s, 70s and 80s.....when music was music. The great 3 decades of good solid classic music.
I think Ol’ Bobby Bare was so underrated his whole career. 🥴
He had the misfortune of playing in Dylan's time.
I agree, I've always liked him and I think he's a much better singer than some that were more famous than him.
I agree with you he was underrated
Definitely underrated...
His songs are amazing and he's a great story teller..
His cover of " how I got to Memphis " is good, although I like the original version by Tom t hall the best..
I LOVE THIS SONG WHEN I WAS AWAY FROM HOME I WOULD LISTEN TO THIS SONG AND CRY
I was 7 in 1967 and was singing this Magical song, i use to forget some of the words and make up my own until I learned the song. Happy memories
Still remember sitting in our livingroom seeing this, my mom, my sis and I
so handsome bobby bare...and a great singer!!!...
@Bobby Bare did you see me there???....lol...
@Bobby Bare haha...only a scammer would say that...
2024 still love Bobby Bare. Love his version of Four Strong Winds....the best ever. 3:23 3:23
Im in Detroit right now and I want to go home.
wonderfuul
"I wanna go home". One of the greatest refrains in country music.

Bobby Bare aka Bill Parsons, one of the best country voices ever.
And both are family surnames of many good folks in the Western NC mountains. Bobby has roots there.
My teenage favorite country collections!
I was born in Detroit in 57, baby!
that was such a popular song to us guys in Vietnam in 66-67. We counted the days to the end of our tour of duty singing I WANT TO GO HOME.
At Camp Darby Italy we did a line danceto this. It was 1967 at the Officers Club..as liquor flowed so did the tears! RIP Col McKeeer, Ray Mistoli, Gen Homer Smith
Decent music from a decent singer Bobby Bare...🎈🎈🎈👏🏿
Always loved this song. Simple music yet so heartfelt.
This song is 52 years old..still the quality and the singing style in very good condition..i was born in 1965..this song is one of my favorite songs ..
He is the best
I was born in 1930 in the mountains of SW Virginia - I recall when Bobby Bare hit the big time, best music around then and now..
If you're in his range, people will go nuts when you sing it. It's good and they've never heard it.
@@jamesnagelmueller6852 gt be btw😮 no no no l0ppprppp ft
MEL TILLIS THE AUTHOR OF THIS SONG IS A GREAT COUNTRY SINGER BUT THIS SONG WAS MEANT FOR BOBBY BARE ...
HE JUST NAILED IT HEART & SOUL!
@Bobby Bare I loved your version of Come Sundown, so much emotion put into it. You have inspired me from the way you crooned. I may have finally found my groove, thank you! ❤
My friend Kid rock is from DETROIT. I lived there when my dad was in barber school there. I was 4 and 1/2 yrs old. Very little girl. Will never ever forget it..
When I was a kid we all had to spend the summer with Dad at whatever fish camp he was staying in. The very last time we ever had to do that, this song came on our radio. Mom, my brother, sister, and me, sang this song so much Dad finally got fed up and sent us home. " I want to go home" 😀 This is a very special song.
Hard to believe that it was 1964. I still whistle this song every now and then. Bobby Bare was very laid back and easy to listen to. There is a part early in this video where he appears to be having trouble with the key up and the accompanist beside him shows him his guitar. Bobby gave a shy grin and mouthed "thank you." Then continued playing in the next higher key.
NO, NO, NO! That transition from E to the key of B for the second verse and refrain is HIS!!! He did not need help finding it, he owns it!
This is certainly probably the best version, but listen to Solomon Burke do it for the true feel of a man from the south who went north and ended up by "day making the cars and by night making the bars....."
What a memory!
It doesn't come better
Such a good song
A great song
Country music at it's best. Still have all my parents old albums play them still. I may 70' s classic but still go back to the old country
Alan Jackson music is truly the language of the soul and heart. this musical genre is real music that touches the spirit in the real sense of the world 🌍 You're a real fan
Bobby always had a serious sadness in his eyes. Nobody ever sang this song like him and the recitation is so believable.
true, he was a big-hearted superstar back then

Not in 1980 he didn't LOL
Just a poor boy with a 12 string...what a joke...doesn't know what poor is.
I listen to bobby regularily. We are kin folk. His maternal grandma and grandpa smith are my great grandparents. My moms his 1st cousin. Love all of bobbys stuff.
I am, my dad played and sang these old songs when I was a kid. My mother was part of the Carter family. We’d have little Jimmy dickens and so many more on some weekends and my mother loved it. She passed away at 42 years old. We grew up in Hilton’s Virginia. I’m 54 and will never forget those days and songs.
Hello Tammy 👋
Hats off to the ANITA KERR SINGERS, who did a FANTASTIC job on the back-up on Bobby's Performance here!! They did SO MUCH in back-ups for Country Music, for SO MANY of the GREAT "AUTHENTIC" Country Classics!!
Such a incredible "LIVE" performance...
After 60 YEARS, still such a beautiful song 💖
Always loved cars great song
One of my many favorites country songs 💃🏽💃🏽🎤🎤🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bob Dylan sent me here - he describes the sincere delivery of this song. wonderfully authentic performance
Same here. And I'm sure there will be many more who will find out about this song through Dylan's book.
from Bob to Bobby...not bad. I'll go through all the songs of the book now. Greetings from Germany!
I was sent by Bob Dylan too. Strange song and great bass line. The singer seems to be some kind of " happy sad." . Wonderful vision of what can´t work.
Bella canzone country
Now THIS is what they call REAL Country Music, not that fluff currently coming out of Nashville...
now this is music and class ....
He's Brilliant, never get tired listening to him.
I miss my daughter Melissa up in Providence Rhode Island and I want to go back home to see her I miss her so much I'm down here in Jacksonville Florida been there 27 years I'm ready to go back home
The song will always be special to me because the. First time I left home the song had a greater. Meaning to me, I can really feel the words he was saying the song have a greater meaning now😅
Bobby love to hear him sing really good voice and I love this song
The simple guitar solos are so moving.
Absolutely a fantastic song wow I love this song and I even sing it today
Very good song l love❤❤
What memories! Grew up listening to Bobby and his partners in music in the 60's. Songs such as this one, Streets Of Baltimore, 500 miles and so forth. "It's Alright" being my favorite. Bless you brother for all the great music you've given us. I have family Bobby that knew you back in Springfield, Ohio long ago. Where would country had been without the likes of yourself, Marty, Ray and the others. Seen you in Palmetto years back at the Civic Center. Just as great as I recalled from my younger times. Great entertainer my friend! Bless you.
My Mom Favorite Song
Heard this song when I was a young child and have loved ever since. One of the great songs in country music!
It always blows my mind how good these old country singers were live.
This old Michigeezer Loves this song, especially this version.
Loved him for decades, I still do!
Hello Linda 👋
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this classic hit song. Song use listen on radio stations back then.still enjoy more though years.
Awesome. Years ago I thought I hated Country music. I dug a little deeper and changed my mind.
the 60s were the height of Bobby's performances and talent..............Willie
Great lyrics, great vocals, great sound, great song. The longing for the homeland could not be better expressed. Greetings from Turkey.
I have always loved bobby bare I've sung him songs for many years and still love it
I agree, nice voice.
I lived in Kuwait for a decade and would play this song often, I would think of Kuwait City in the lyrics instead of Detroit City, lol. I WANT TO GO HOME!
I love Bobby Bare, what happened to real country music like this????
WOW I still can remember my good teenage days listening to Bobby Bare with tears in my eyes. God bless him
This song was my gramps favorite song he would sing it in the grain truck during harvest he has passed on since 98 but it's one of my favorite memories of him and because of him I absolutely love Bobby Bare
U kidding me? This is everything.
I went to Kingsville TX to see him two times and once in Arkansas Pass TX and once in Rock Port Tx where I was living at the time. He was OUT OF THIS WORLD each time. He was the greatest, no other way to say it.
Watched his interview with Ralph Emery last night. Very nice man. Came from nothin. Mother died when he was five.
I remember listening to this as a little kid.....
Bobby Bare: One of the all time greats !
Man! He was young and handsome in 1964!! I grew up with these great songs. Thanks Bobby for being part of that.

A chainsaw with a hole in the muffler sounds better than some of the current 'New Country'.
Bobby Bare has always been one of my favorite singers. Love you Bobby!

One of America's greatest! I enjoy his songs and his melancoly mood
