Track 8 of 11 on the album "Country Hit Time" (1968) [Intro] D A7 D [Verse 1]
    D            A7                G              D
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom

            D                              A7
And I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest

      D                  A7            G                  D
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell

        D              A7             D
"Let my guitar-playing friend do my request"
[Chorus]
         D            A7        G              D
"Let him sing me back home, the song I used to hear

D                          A7
Make my old memories come alive

D        A7      G             D
Take me away and turn back the years

D            A7            D
Sing me back home before I die"
[Interlude] D A7 D [Verse 2]
    D                A7         G                  D
I recall last Sunday morning, a choir from off the street

     D                           A7
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs

      D                  A7                  G            D
And I heard him tell the singers, "There's a song my mama sang

        D              A7             D
Could I hear it once before you move along?"
[Chorus]
           D            A7        G              D
"Won't you sing me back home, the song I used to hear?

D                          A7
Make my old memories come alive

D        A7      G             D
Take me away and turn back the years

D            A7            D
Sing me back home before I die

          D            A7            D
Won't you sing me back home before I die?"
