As recorded by Joan Baez with Jeffrey Shurtleff (From the 1970 Album ONE DAY AT A TIME - CD REISSUE BONUS TRACK) [Intro] G D C G [Verse 1]
G                D                 C              G
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom

                                       D
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest

      G                  D7            C                  G
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell

                      D              G
Let my guitar playing friend do my request
[Chorus]
    D   G            D       C              G
Let him sing me back home, a song I used to hear

                           D7
Make my old memories come alive

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

             D             C G
Sing me back home before I die
[Interlude] G D7 C G [Verse 2]
G                    D7         C                  G
I recall last Sunday morning, a choir from off the street

                               D
Came in to do a few old gospel songs

      G                  D                  C            G
And I heard him tell the singers, there's a song my mama sang

                       D7             G
Could I hear it once before you move along?
[Out-Chorus]
G                      D       C              G
Won't you sing me back home, a song I used to hear

                           D7
Make my old memories come alive

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

             D             C  G
Sing me back home before I die
