The warden led the prisoner down the hallway to his doom
A Asus4 A E B E
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
A E D A
And I heard him tell the warden just before they reached my cell
A E A D A
Let my guitar playin’ friend sing my request
A E D A
Sing me back home a song I used to hear.
A Asus4 A E B E
Make my old memories come alive.
A E D A
Sing me away and turn back the year.
A Asus4 A E A D A
Sing me back home before I die.
I recall last Sunday morning when the choir from off the street
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers there’s a song my mother sang
Can I hear it before you travel on.
Sing me back home a song I used to hear.
Make my old memories come alive.
Sing me away and turn back the year.
Sing me back home before I die.
