Sing Me Back Home Lyrics

Burrito Brothers Sing Me Back Home written by Merle Haggard
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I got up 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
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
I recall last Sunday morning when a choir came in from town
And got up to sing a few old gospel songs
Then I heard him tell the singers there's a song my mama sang.
Would you sing it just once before we 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
From The Flying Burrito Brothers "Close Up The Honky Tonks"
