Sing Me Back Home Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

The warden let the prisoner down the hallway to his doom 

And I stood up to say goodbye 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 the song I used to hear 

Make my old memories come alive 

Then take me away and turn back the years sing me back home before I die 

I recall last Sunday morning when 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... 

Won't you sing me back home before I die
