Lyrics

Written by merle haggard

The warden led a prisoner down a 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 playing friend do my request."

"Let him sing me back home, with a song I used to hear
And make my old mem'ries come alive
Ane take me away and turn back the years
And sing me back home before I die."

I recall last sunday morning, a choir from off the streets
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?"

"Let him sing me back home, with a song I used to hear
And make my old mem'ries come alive
And take me away and turn back the years
And sing me back home before I die."

"And sing me back home before I die."
