Sing Me Back Home

Sing Me Back Home
written and performed by Merle Haggard -1967

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest
I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
Let my guitar playing friend do my request

(chorus)
Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Then take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

I recall last Sunday morning, a choir from across the street
Came 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?

(chorus)
(Won't you...)
