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)
