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
