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-PLAYING
FRIEND DO MY REQUEST
LET HIM SING ME
BACK HOME
WITH A SONG
I USED TO HEAR
AND MAKE MY OLD
MEMORIES COME ALIVE
AND TAKE ME AWAY
AND TURN BACK
THE YEARS
AND SING ME BACK HOME
BEFORE I DIE
I RECALL LAST
SUNDAY MORNING
A CHOIR FROM
OFF THE STREETS
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
WON'T YOU SING ME
BACK HOME
WITH A SONG
I USED TO HEAR
AND MAKE MY OLD
MEMORIES COME ALIVE
AND TAKE ME AWAY
AND TURN BACK
THE YEARS
AND SING ME BACK HOME
BEFORE I DIE
AND SING ME BACK HOME
BEFORE I DIE
