The warden led the prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the sinners just before they reached my cell
"Let my guitar-playing friend fill my request"
Sing me back home a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Sing me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
I recall last Sunday morning when the choir from off the street
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers, "There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once before you travel on?"
Sing me back home a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive (oh-oh, come alive, yeah, yeah)
Sing me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

I recall last Sunday morning when the choir from off the street

Sing me back home a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive (oh-oh, come alive)
Sing me away and turn back the year
Sing me back home before I die
Sing me back home before I die
