Sing Me Back Home
The warden led the prisoner
Down the hallway to his doom
And I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden
Just before he reached my cell
Let my guitar-playing friend do my request
Let him sing me back home
With a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away, and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
(Music)
I recall last Sunday morning
There was a choir from off the street
They came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers
There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once before you move along
Won't you sing me back home
With a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away, and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
(Music)
And won't you sing me back home
With a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away, and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
And won't you sing me back home before I die
Down the hallway to his doom
And I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden
Just before he reached my cell
Let my guitar-playing friend do my request
Let him sing me back home
With a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away, and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
(Music)
I recall last Sunday morning
There was a choir from off the street
They came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers
There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once before you move along
Won't you sing me back home
With a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away, and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
(Music)
And won't you sing me back home
With a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away, and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
And won't you sing me back home before I die
