Sing Me Back Home Lyrics by Virgil Shaw

Still Falling

2002

A warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his death
And I stood up like I was ready
And then I heard him ask the warden just before he reached my cell
"Would you let that guitar friend please do just one request?"
And won't you sing me back home
With the song that I used to hear?
And let my memories come alive
And won't you take me away
And turn back the years?
Sing me back home before I die
Well, I remember one Sunday morning
When some gospel singers came in from town
Just to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him ask the singers
"There's a song my momma used to play
Would you please sing it for me before I move along?"
And won't you sing me back home
With the song that I used to hear?
And let my memories come alive
And won't you take me away
And turn back the years?
Sing me back home before I die
Won't you sing me back home before I die?
