G D7
The warden led a prisoner
C G
Down the hallway to his doom
D7
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
G D7
I heard him tell the warden
C G
Just before he reached my cell
D7 G
Let my guitar playing friend do my request
D7
Let him sing me back home
C G
With the songs I used to hear
D7
Make my old memories come alive
G D7 C G
Take me away and turn back the years
D7 G
Let him sing me back home before I die
D7
I recall last Sunday morning
C G
A choir came off the street
D7
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
G D7
I heard him tell the singers
C G
There’s a song my mamma sang
D7 G
Could I hear it once before you move along
