Sing Me Back Home lyrics

Song information

Artist: Merle Haggard
Album: Sing Me Back Home

Lyrics

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 memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

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?' (won't you...)

Sing me back home with a 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

Sing me back home before I die
