[00:09.30]The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
[00:17.87]And I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
[00:26.78]And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
[00:35.50]"Let my guitar friend do my request"
[00:43.97]Let him sing me back home with a song I
[00:53.82]And make my old memories come alive
[01:02.68]And take me away and turn back the years
[01:11.55]Sing me back home before I die
[01:20.12]I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the streets
[01:29.24]Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
[01:33.57]And I heard him tell the singers, "There's a song my mama sang
[01:46.72]Could I hear it once before you move along?"
[01:55.34]Let him sing me back home, with the song I used to hear
[02:04.16]Make my old memories come alive
[02:08.64]Take me away and turn back the years
[02:22.24]Sing me back home before I die
[02:31.06]Sing me back home before I die
