Sing Me Back Home

Sing Me Back Home - Merle Haggard

Written by：Merle Haggard/Merle Hagga

The warden

Led a prisoner

Down the hallway to his doom

I stood up

To say good bye like all the rest

And I heard him tell the warden

Just before

He reached my cell

Let my guitar

Playing friend do my request'

Let him

Sing me back home

With a 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

I recall last sunday morning

A choir from of the street

Came in the sing a few old gospel songs

And I heard him tell the singers

There's a song my mama sang

Can I hear it once before we move along'

Sing me back home

The song I used to here

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
