Merle and Johnny



Sing Me Back Home
Merle Haggard & Johnny Cash
The warden led a prisoner
Down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say good-bye
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

Won’t you
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 mornin’
A choir from across 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
Can I hear once
Before we move along

Won’t you
Sing me back home
The song my mama sang
Make my old memories
Come alive
Take me away
And turn back the years
Sing me back home
Before I did

Sing me back home
Before I die

Lyrics From: [Cowboy Lyrics]

  3. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Rachell!!! They had a feature on a Japanese man who learned English by listening to The Beatles on 60 Minutes a week of so ago.

  4. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! If it isn't already a familiar tune, I think you and Duke would really enjoy it. Wade? Not so much.

  5. I suppose listening to this sort of thing while trucking is responsible for your mental state today?

  6. Thanks for stopping again, my dear Adullamite (which I forgot to do beforehand)!!! No, not really. For I spent most of my trucking days hard-rockin' down the highway, but before that...
