The warden led the prisoner down the hallway to his doom
                                        B
I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest

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

'Let my guitar playing friend do my request'

Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
                           B
Make my old memories come alive
E        B       A             E
Take me away and turn back the years

Sing me back home before I die

I recall last Sunday morning, a choir from off the street
                              B
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
      E                  B                   A            E
And I heard him tell the singers, 'There's a song my mama sang
                        B               E
Could I hear it once be-fore you move a-long?'


Chorus:
E            B           A              E
Sing me back home with a song I used to hear

Make my old memories come alive
E        B       A             E
Take me away and turn back the years
