Sing Me Back Home Lyrics by Grateful Dead
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
The warden led the prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before they reached my cell
Let my guitar playin' friend fill my request
Let him sing me back home a song I used to hear. Make my old memories come alive.
Sing me away and turn back the year. Sing me home before I die.
I recall last Sunday morning when the 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 mother sang
Can I hear it before you travel on.
Sing me back home a song I used to hear. Make my old memories come alive.
Sing me away and turn back the year. Sing me back home before I die.
The warden led the prisoner down the hallway to his doom   I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest    And I heard him tell the warden just before they reached my cell   Let my guitar playin' friend fill my request    Let him sing me back home a song I used to hear. Make my old memories come alive.   Sing me away and turn back the year. Sing me home before I die.   I recall last Sunday morning when the 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 mother sang   Can I hear it before you travel on.    Sing me back home a song I used to hear. Make my old memories come alive.   Sing me away and turn back the year. Sing me back home before I die.
