Sing Me Back Home (2001 Remaster) (2001 Digital Remaster) - Merle Haggard
(2001 Digital Remaster) - Merle Haggard
The warden led a prisoner
Down the hallway to his doom
And 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 picking friend do my request
Let him sing me back home with a song
I used to hear
And make my old memories come alive
And take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
I recall last Sunday morning
A choir from off the streets
Came in to sing 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
Won't cha sing me back home
With the 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
