Sing Me Back Home Lyrics - Jayhawks

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
