sing me back home (live at fillmore east nyc april 1971) - grateful dead lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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 sing my request”

[chorus]
sing me back home a song i used to hear
make my old memories come alive
sing me away, and turn back the years
sing me home before i die

[verse 2]
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 momma sang
could i hear it once before you travel on?”

[chorus]
sing me back home a song i used to hear
make my old memories come alive
sing me away and turn back the years
won’t you sing me back home before i die

[instrumental break]

[verse 1 repeated]
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 sing my request”

[chorus]
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 years
let him sing me back home before i die
sing me back home before i die
