Flying Burrito Brothers - Sing Me Back Home lyrics

Haggard The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom And I stand up to say good-bye like all the rest Then I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell 'Let my guitar playing, friend, do my request' Want you sing me back home with a song I used to hear ? Make my old memories come alive ? And take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die And I remember Sunday evening when a choir came in from town And got up to sing a few old gospel song Then I heard him tell the singers : 'There's a song my mama sang' 'Could you sing it once before we move along ?' Want you sing me back home with a song I used to hear ? Make my old memories come alive ? And take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die Want you sing me back home before I die ?
