Sing Me Back Home

Sing Me Back Home

Merle Haggard & The Strangers

The warden led a prisoner

Down the hallway to his doom

I stood up to say goodbye 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

(Chorus)

Let him 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 came off the street

They came in singing 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 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

Sing me back home before I die

(End)
