The warden led a prisoner
|
Down the hallway to his doom
|
And I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
|
Then I heard him tell the warden
|
There's a song my mama sang
|
Let my guitar playing friend, do my request
|
|
Chorus:
|
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
|
|
Well, I recall last Sunday evening
|
When a choir came off the street
|
They came in singing a few old gospel songs
|
Then I heard him tell the warden
|
Just before he reached my cell
|
Won't you sing it once before we move along
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Won't you sing me back home before I die
|
