The warden led a 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 he reached my cell Let my guitar playing friend, do my request (Chorus) 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 I recall last sunday morning A choir came off the street They came in singing 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 (chorus) 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 Sing me back home before I die (End)
