The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom.
'nd 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...)
chorus
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…)
