[Verse 1]
The warden lead a prison down the hallway to his doom
And 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

[Chorus]
Let him sing me back home
With the song I used to hear
And make my old memories come alive
And take me away, and turn back the years
And sing me back home before I die

[Verse 2]
I rеcall last Sunday morning a choir from off the street
Came in to sing a few old gospеl songs
And I heard him tell the singers there's a song my momma sang
Could I hear it once before you move along

[Chorus]
Won't you sing me back home
With the song I used to hear
And make my old memories come alive
And take me away, and turn back the years
And sing me back home before I die
[Outro]
And sing me back home before I die
