Lyrics
THE WARDEN LED A PRISONER DOWN A 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
TAKE ME AWAY AND TURN BACK THE YEARS
SING ME BACK HOME BEFORE I DIE
I RECALL LAST SUNDAY MORNING
A CHOIR FROM OFF THE STREET CAME IN
TO SING A FEW OLD GOSPEL SONGS
AND I HEARD HIM TELL THE SINGERS
COULD I HEAR IT ONCE BEFORE YOU MOVE ALONG
1967 10
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
TAKE ME AWAY AND TURN BACK THE YEARS
SING ME BACK HOME BEFORE I DIE
I RECALL LAST SUNDAY MORNING
A CHOIR FROM OFF THE STREET CAME IN
TO SING A FEW OLD GOSPEL SONGS
AND I HEARD HIM TELL THE SINGERS
COULD I HEAR IT ONCE BEFORE YOU MOVE ALONG
1967 10
