Sing Me Back Home


3d heavy drum beat
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, 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 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?"

Won't ya sing me back home, with the the 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

Last refrain optional
Won't you sing me back home, the the 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
