Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doomI stood up to say good-bye like all the restAnd 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 hearMake my old memories come aliveTake me away and turn back the yearsSing Me Back Home before I dieI recall last Sunday morning a choir from ‘cross the streetCame to sing a few old gospel songsAnd I heard him tell the singers ‘There’s a song my mama sang.Can I hear once before we move along?’Sing me back home, the song my mama sangMake my old memories come aliveTake me away and turn back the yearsSing Me Back Home before I die
