"Cadillac Assembly Line" lyrics

Keb' Mo', Chineke! Orchestra, Ground Zero Blues Club Band & Martin Gellner Lyrics

"Cadillac Assembly Line"
(originally by Sir Mack Rice)

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
Oh 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' yessir 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
