Testo di Sing Me Back Home

The warden led a prisoner Down the hallway to his doom And I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest Then I heard him tell the warden There's a song my mama sang Let my guitar playing friend, do my request Chorus: 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 Well, I recall last Sunday evening When a choir came off the street They came in singing a few old gospel songs Then I heard him tell the warden Just before he reached my cell Won't you sing it once before we move along (Chorus) Won't you sing me back home before I die
