The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
G                                        D
I got up up to say good-bye like all the rest
      G                  D           C                    G
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
G                      D           G
Let my guitar playing friend do my request
G                 D                C              G
Won't you Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
G                          D
Make my old memories come alive
G       D        C             G
Take me away and turn back the years
G            D             G
Sing Me Back Home before I die

I recall last Sunday morning when a choir came in from town
                                    E
And got up to sing a few old gospel songs
       A                  E                  D            A
Then I heard him tell the singers  there's a song my mama sang.
                            E              A
Would you sing it just once before we move along
A                 E                D              A
Won't you Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
A                          E
Make my old memories come alive
A       E         D             A
Take me away and turn back the years
A            E             A
Sing Me Back Home before I die
