Sing Me Back Home

The warden led the prisoner
down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden
just before they reached my cell
Let my guitar playin' friend fill my request

Let him sing me back home a song I used to hear.
Make my old memories come alive.
Sing me away and turn back the year.
Sing me home before I die.

I recall last Sunday morning
when the choir from off the street
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers
there's a song my mother sang
Can I hear it before you travel on.

Sing me back home a song I used to hear.
Make my old memories come alive.
Sing me away and turn back the year.
Sing me home before I die.
And sing me home before I die.
