As recorded by Conway Twitty (From the 1969 Album DARLING, I WOULDN'T LIE TO YOU) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                                C                G
Every son wants to follow in the footsteps of his dad

                                          D  D7
That's why my boy is in this cell next to me

             G                     C        G
Tonight I'll sing him a song about mama and home

                   C             G
For tomorrow he'll meet his destiny
[Chorus]
G                              C        G
So, I'll sing him a song about mama and home

                                         D  D7
It's all that's kept him from losing his mind

     G                     C        G
I'll sing him a song about mama and home

                 C       G
But tonight I'll sing my last time
[Verse 2]
G                        C                         G
In the morning at sunrise they're gonna take my boy out to hang

                                   D                      D7   G
And the scaffold and thirteen steps they built near by my door

                               C                  G
But I know that when the warden leads him past my cell

                   C    G
Yes he's gonna say papa sing me a song once more
[Chorus]
G                         C        G
Papa sing me a song about mama and home

                                       D  D7
It's all that's kept me from losing my mind

     G                    C        G
Papa sing me a song about mama and home

                   C      G
But sing a song to die by this time
[Outro]
G                   C N.C.      G
Papa sing a song to die by this time...
