Lyrics

[00:09.30] The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
[00:17.87] And I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
[00:26.78] And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
[00:35.50] "Let my guitar friend do my request"
[00:43.97] Let him sing me back home with a song I
[00:53.82] And make my old memories come alive
[01:02.68] And take me away and turn back the years
[01:11.55] Sing me back home before I die
[01:20.12] I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the streets
[01:29.24] Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
[01:33.57] And I heard him tell the singers, "There's a song my mama sang
[01:46.72] Could I hear it once before you move along?"
[01:55.34] Let him sing me back home, with the song I used to hear
[02:04.16] Make my old memories come alive
[02:08.64] Take me away and turn back the years
[02:22.24] Sing me back home before I die
[02:31.06] Sing me back home before I die
