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
