[00:11.746]The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
[00:19.773]And I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
[00:28.802]And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
[00:37.581]Let my guitar playing friend do my request
[00:46.120]Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
[00:55.151]Make my old memories come alive
[01:03.933]Take me away, and turn back the years
[01:12.461]Sing me back home before I die
[01:22.995]I recall last Sunday morning
[01:27.512]A choir from off the street
[01:32.029]Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
[01:40.557]And I heard him tell the singers
[01:44.824]There's a song my mama sang
[01:49.087]Could I hear it once, before you move along
[01:57.617]Would ya sing me back home with a song I used to hear?
[02:06.894]Make my old memories come alive
[02:16.664]Take me away, and turn back the years
[02:24.190]Sing me back home before I die
[02:32.720]Sing me back home before I die
