"Sing Me Back Home"

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say good-bye 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.' (Let him...)

Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old [bad word] alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing Me Back Home before I die

I recall last Sunday morning a choir from 'cross the street
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers 'There's a song my mama sang.
Can I hear once before we move along?'

Sing me back home, the song my mama sang
Make my old [bad word] alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing Me Back Home before I die

Sing Me Back Home before I die.
