Sing Me Back Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom And 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, the 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" [Interlude] [Verse 2] I recall last Sunday morning, a 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 mama sang Could I hear it once before you move along?" [Chorus] Won't you sing me back home, the 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 Won't you sing me back home before I die?"
