Sing Me Back Home Lyrics

Well, 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 friend play my last request

CHORUS:
He said sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away, turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die


I recall last Sunday morning a choir rom off the street
Came in to sing a few more gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers, 'There's a song my mama sang me,
Could I hear it once before you move along'

REPEAT CHORUS

Won't you sing me back home before I die
