Merle Haggard - Sing Me Back Home Lyrics
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 playing friend do my request." (Let him...)
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 "There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once before you move along?"
Sing me back home, the song my mama sang
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing Me Back Home before I die
Sing Me Back Home before I die

671 dislikes... I wonder why?? I can still recognize most of the Strangers in the background - correct me if I'm wrong. This is PURE GOLD. Regardless if you can relate to the song - It has the elements we don't see anymore- Real emotion, an ability to play an instrument, and most of all - Soul.......

Just don't understand the thumbs down such a real life song beautifully done
THANK YOU FOR SHARING. ONE OF THE GREATEST.
Nobody can possibly feel the shoes of my heros that are dying off. Country music will never be the same again.
He got the words wrong this version.
It's a song that with luck has Merle to set the mood.. A true classic
El alcaide condujo a un prisionero por el pasillo hasta su destino.
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
Y me puse de pie para despedirme como todos los demás
And I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest
Y lo escuché decirle al alcaide justo antes de llegar a mi celda
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
"Deja que mi amigo guitarrista haga mi pedido"
"Let my guitar-playing friend do my request"
Deja que me cante en casa con una canción que solía escuchar
Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Haz que mis viejos recuerdos cobren vida
Make my old memories come alive
Llévame lejos y retrocede los años
Take me away and turn back the years
Cántame en casa antes de morir
Sing me back home before I die
Recuerdo el pasado domingo por la mañana un coro de 'cruzar la calle
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from 'cross the street
Entró a cantar algunas viejas canciones gospel
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
Y lo escuché decir a los cantantes "hay una canción que mi mamá cantó
And I heard him tell the singers "there's a song my mama sang
¿Puedo escuchar una vez antes de que te muevas?
Could I hear once before you move along?"
¿No me cantarías en casa con la canción que solía escuchar?
Won't you sing me back home, with the song I used to hear
Haz que mis viejos recuerdos cobren vida
Make my old memories come alive
Llévame lejos y retrocede los años
Take me away and turn back the years
Cántame en casa antes de morir
Sing me back home before I die
Cántame en casa antes de morir
Sing me back home before I die
Who is the clasy guy in Maroon jacket??
He sang straight to the heart of the heart like no other singer, with the best instrument - his voice.
name man violin jacket purple? i'm not remember
My Dad loved Merle and I was his record changer as a kid! He would sit on the Back Porch, and sing! He would drink a beer and we would sing together while Mama cooked supper! I cherish those memories every day! I have lost both parents and younger sister!
Love what u shared Rhonda. I always thought I would marry Merle when I was a kid.:)
As an ex-con I can attest to the power of this song. R.I.P. Mr. Haggard.
Growing up as a kid my parents was a huge Merle Haggard fan weather is on the 8 track stereo in our car or the record player at our house there was always Merle Haggard playing definitely my parents favorite singer they're both gone now and there's not a Merle Haggard song that don't have multiple memories tied to it I'm almost 60 years old and if cried only a few times in my life the day I found out Merle died I was driving down the highway and just had to pull over and shed a few tears Merle your music and your legacy will never be forgotten in my life as long as I live God bless you sir and thank you so much for all the memories through your songs
SÅÅ FINT
l am a Korean. But I love this song "Sing Me Back Home" i usaiy have heard this song. Merle in this song make me cry every time. Because of this sentence " sing me back hone before I die" in this song. Tkank you Merle Haggard and Ambassador Television. January 2020.
Isn't this the piece of shit singing about not smoking pot in Muskogee. They do Now bubba.
Get rid of the thumbs down button,its insulting to one of the best,,and all of us who love him
Helluva guitar solo Merle..Damn
i really love this version ..rest in peace ya legend
This is the BEST version of all. Better than the "hit" version. Like George Jones, he got better as he aged ....ar least that's my perspective from Canada!
Oh, that Telecaster!!!! Beautiful!
Amit no beating haggard " awesome! Cheers
Merle Haggard you were one of the best country singers in the world and I no your in heaven God bless your soul.
Merle Haggard has always been my most favorite country balladeer ever
❤👨🏭
Wow I just love the sound of a Fender guitar
The thumb downs peeps are heartless and cold!
🇺🇸🎼🥰🇺🇸🥰🇺🇸🎼🎼🥰🥰🇺🇸🎼🎼🎼
Who's the guy playing violin in maroon blazer and derby hat
I also love the sound of an electric guitar played the way merle is playing it. Not all the squall boxes hooked to it
Listening 2020 ❤️😎
I love this song. This version right here on stage is the best ive ever heard. His voice going up and down and growling like is awesome
This is the very best version of this song, in my opinion. Merle was pure class.
3:21 garth brooks on fiddle
Don't think so, that young man is part of Asleep at the Wheel.
Great band backing him, Asleep At The Wheel.
Beautiful song.
Sure would be awesome to be able to set front row again at a concert of his...We miss Merle
This song tell a true story if you listen to the words
Barney Kennedy It's about a friend of his who was nicknamed Rabbit. They called him that because he liked to run, he was known for escape attempts. Merle had also escaped from jail several times, that's what in part got him thrown into San Quentin at a very young age. While in San Quentin, him and Rabbit were plotting an escape attempt. Some of the older inmates got wind of it and talked Merle out of it, they told him it wasn't worth ruining his life over because he was young and had his whole life ahead of him. They advised him to just stick it out and do his time. Merle listened to them and backed out of the escape attempt, so Rabbit proceeded on his own. He got away, but murdered a cop before being re- captured. He was sentenced to death for the crime and was put on death row at San Quentin. That's what inspired Merle to write this song. Sad but beautiful, written from the heart. There'll never be another Merle Haggard.
Need more of this on TV
Love it"...need more
Who is the gentleman in the Maroon coat?
Miss you Merle. May you rest in peace..
Merel you were the best.My God bless your soul
Great great song
Quando a Música expressa um sentimento que realmente existiu ela não se esgota em si mesma , que arranjo e vozes lindas , não canso de ouvir ...
muito bom grande cantor
Damn, he was good ! Sadly missed is Merle.
There are no words, because you have all the words.
Merle's the king.
Anyone know who the female backup vocals are?
No one can ever phil there shoes ever !!😎
Wow,now that's singing,close your eyes and just listen. The world is a sadder place without Merle.
It's great to hear Merle, older but better than ever, thank you.
Super gość, szkoda ze odszedł. Pamięć on nim będzie trwać........
The Hag is the greatest
Just so great this performance.
My most favourite great Country Music Singer.
This being the best version.
May He Rest In Eternal Peace.
RIP Merle. Saw you here in Baton Rouge. You passed less than a year later. Glad I made time to enjoy you once more.
Best country music singer EVER
Even screwing up the words to the first verse, the HAG is still way cooler than any other country singer today!
EVERY THING ABOUT THIS SHOW IS CLASS , COUNTRY MUSIC AT ITS BEST
great singer he was one of the best
I can't help but wonder what will happen the day Willie Nelson moves on. He's Thee Last of an incredible group of stars that shaped our country.
I live on old classic country music. When I was in San Quentin and folsom or any other institution that was hell on earth. One thing that they could never take from me in the hole was the music in my head. It saved me from insanity !!!!
It is a very weird feeling when u are there in the place when they execute someone. It gets very quiet very intense. Meral may have possibly sent whom ever it was to his death with peace and serenity. 2 things that are impossible to get in San Quentin
The mark of a great song is it literally takes over you and makes you feel like you are right there living it out in person. This song does that in spades!
Wow(!), Steve, that really says it like it is. Thanks, man.
Muito bom de ++++++++.
Love ❤️ this song.
James. Mann
You sure left a lot of folks behind that miss you.....RIP Mr. Haggard.....
SÅÅ FINT
Super feel-good music and great person...
קול גדול
Zo good
Man what a fucking voice
The live performance of this iconic song is different than the other times I've heard and seen him perform.
There was Merle and all the rest was following in his dust. Nobody else in country music will even come close. The Master at work here.
Let the old guys sing, it's a lot more beautiful.
