Going to Detroit Michigan,
Girl I can't take you
Hey I'm going to Detroit Michigan,
Girl, you got to stay here behind
Going to get me a job,
On the Cadillac assembly line
I'm tired of whooping and hollering
Up and down the Mississippi road
Oh I'm tired of whooping and hollering
Picking that nasty cotton
Gonna catch me a bus up North,
I won't have to keep saying, yes Sir. Boss
(Guitar Solo)
Going to Detroit Michigan,
Girl I can't take you
Hey I'm going to Detroit Michigan,
Girl, you got to stay here behind
Going 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 darling
Won't you come on home
(Guitar Solo)
