[00:10.86]The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
[00:19.88]And I stand up to say good-bye like all the rest
[00:30.07]Then I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
[00:39.87]'Let my guitar playing, friend, do my request'.
[00:50.13]Want you sing me back home with a song I used to hear ?
[01:01.00]Make my old memories come alive ?
[01:10.13]And take me away and turn back the years
[01:21.13]Sing me back home before I die.
[01:31.82]
[02:10.41]And I remember Sunday evening when a choir came in from town
[02:20.22]And got up to sing a few old gospel song
[02:30.16]Then I heard him tell the singers : 'There's a song my mama sang'
[02:40.47]'Could you sing it once before we move along ?'
[02:50.91]Want you sing me back home with a song I used to hear ?
[03:00.47]Make my old memories come alive ?
[03:11.10]And take me away and turn back the years
[03:22.01]Sing me back home before I die.
[03:32.37]Want you sing me back home before I die ?
