[00:04.969] The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
[00:16.789] And I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
[00:26.320] And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
[00:34.690] "Let my guitar friend do my request"
[00:43.210] Let him sing me back home with a song I
[00:51.169] And make my old memories come alive
[01:00.830] And take me away and turn back the years
[01:10.480] Sing me back home before I die
[01:18.495] I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the streets
[01:27.994] Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
[01:36.472] And I heard him tell the singers, "There's a song my mama sang
[01:45.352] Could I hear it once before you move along?"
[01:54.473] Let him sing me back home, with the song I used to hear
[02:03.370] Make my old memories come alive
[02:11.277] Take me away and turn back the years
[02:21.202] Sing me back home before I die
[02:29.354] Sing me back home before I die
