Sing Me Back Home

The warden led a prisoner

Down the hallway to his doom

And i stood up to say goodbye like all the rest

Then i heard him tell the warden

There's a song my mama sang

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



Well, i recall last sunday evening

When a choir came off the street

They came in singing a few old gospel songs

Then i heard him tell the warden

Just before he reached my cell

Won't you sing it once before we move along



(chorus)

Won't you sing me back home before i die
