sing me back home (live in veneta, oregon, august 27, 1972) - 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 back home before i die

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

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

[instrumental break]

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

[chorus]
could you sing me back home, a song i used to hear
make my old memories come alive (lordy, come alive, oh lord)
sing me away, and turn back the years
sing me back home before i die
sing me back home before i die

okay, now, at the risk of repetition, you’ll forgive us if we do another tune in the same key…
