song from Merle Haggard,performed by SAVANNAH (dutch countryband)

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom

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

Make my old memories come alive

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

Came in to sing a few old gospel songs

And I heard him tell the singers 'There's a song my mama sang.

Could I hear it once before you move along?' (won't you...)

Sing me back home with a song I used to hear

Make my old memories come alive

Take me away and turn back the years

Sing Me Back Home before I die

Sing Me Back Home before I die
