Lyrics

[00:10.94] The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
[00:19.64] I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
[00:28.20] And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
[00:37.02] "Let my guitar playing friend do my request"
[00:44.09]
[00:45.47] Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
[00:55.05] Make my old memories come alive
[01:03.70] Take me away and turn back the years
[01:12.11] Sing me back home before I die
[01:18.51]
[01:22.69] I recall last sunday morning a choir from off the street
[01:31.45] Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
[01:40.33] And I heard him tell the singers "There's a song my mama sang.
[01:48.65] Could I hear it once before you move along?"
[01:55.25]
[01:57.25] Won't you sing me back home with a song I used to hear
[02:06.43] Make my old memories come alive
[02:15.27] Take me away and turn back the years
[02:24.03] Sing me back home before I die
[02:30.75]
[02:32.64] Sing me back home before I die
[02:40.21]
