71.Sing Me Back Home
Lyricist:M Haggard
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
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 playin' friend do my request'
'Let him sing me back home, a song I used to hear
Make my old mem'ries come to life
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die'
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from on the street
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singer 'There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once before you move along?'
'Won't you sing me back home a song I used to hear?
Make my old mem'ries come to life
Please, take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
