G# D#7 C# G#
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
G# D#7
I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest
G# D#7 C# G#
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
G# D#7 G#
ʼLet my guitar playing friend do my request.ʼ (Let him...)
Chorus:
G# D#7 C# G#
Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
G# D#7
Make my old memories come alive
G# D#7 C# G#
Take me away and turn back the years
G# D#7 G#
Sing Me Back Home before I die
I recall last Sunday morning a choir came in from town
Just to sing a few old gospel song
And I heard him tell the singers ʼThereʼs a song my mama sang.
Can I hear once before we move along?ʼ
Chorus.
G# D#7 C# G#
Sing Me Back Home before I die
