Sing Me Back Home Lyrics

Sing Me Back Home lyrics

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom  

 I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest  

 & I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell  

 "Let my guitar-playin' friend do my request"  

  

 "Let him sing me back home, a song I used to hear  

 Make my old mem'ries come to life  

 Take me away & turn back the years  

 Sing me back home before I die"  

  

 I recall a Sunday morning a choir from on the street  

 Came in to sing a few old gospel songs  

 & I heard him tell the singer "There's a song my mama sang  

 Could I hear it once before you move along?"  

  

 "Won't you sing me back home, a song I used to hear  

 Make my old mem'ries down to lie  

 Take me away & turn back the years  

 Sing me back home before I die
