THE WARDEN 
LED A 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 
PLAYIN' FRIEND 
DO MY REQUEST 
LET HIM SING 

ME BACK HOME 
WITH A SONG 
I USED TO HEAR 
MAKE MY OLD MEMORIES

COME ALIVE 
AND TAKE ME AWAY 
AND TURN BACK 
THE YEARS 

LET HIM SING 
ME BACK HOME 
BEFORE I DIE 
I RECALL 

LAST SUNDAY MORNIN' 
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

LET HIM SING 
ME BACK HOME 
WITH A SONG 
I USED TO HEAR 

MAKE MY OLD MEMORIES
COME ALIVE 
AND TAKE ME AWAY 
AND TURN BACK 

THE YEARS 
LET HIM SING 
ME BACK HOME 
BEFORE I DIE 

LET HIM SING 
ME BACK HOME 
BEFORE I DIE
