Lyrics : The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom And 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 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 'cross 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 once before you move along?" Won't you sing me back home, with the 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 Sing me back home before I die

I Sooo Love This Song and the Way Mr. Merle Sings it.

Merle sings all his songs with such feelings. Like he is living it all over again. RIP Merle. You were the best and will always be

Should be required viewing for all of today's so called country singers. This is the real deal.

That’s a great comment. It’s why there is so much emotion in the song. This is very definitely the real deal.

What agreat singer singing his heart out will always listen to the great Merle HGgard

Merle Haggard was the best all around country talent (voice, instrumentals, songwriting) since Hank Williams. Hell, he was the best in those three categories also. He had more talent in his little finger than any pretender singing today.

The best Country singer ever!!!!

I just found this song today via the Flying Burrito Brothers version. It's beautiful. One of the things about music is that I probably have almost nothing in common with the people in the audience but we all like this song.

It appears to me that the older Merle got, the more emotion he sang this song with. Truly love listening to the Hag!

I love this man he sings. Like a angle Rest In Peace ❤️

I love Merle's reactions when Redd hits his licks on the solo! Merle admired guitar players so much, especially the very good ones!

This guy was so in.touch..... god rest upon.his soul.. if ever there was guy we needed now during Covid..... sing us back.home

I LOVE MERLE HAGGARD ❤

Anyone who has ever done time relates to Merle because of songs like this one.

Indiscutablement le plus grand, Merle Haggard parle à l'âme, c'est un vrai régal que de l'écouter les yeux fermés, beaucoup trop tôt disparu. Quelle famille d'artistes.

Love this song, " Sing Me Back Home " by Merle Haggard, it is my very favourite.

So sad but Merle sings just as good as ever

Merle you left us much to soon. RIP.

Awesome The master at his best. The great Merle Haggard!!!!

At 1:47... that’s how you play a guitar solo... no shredding up and down the neck- there’s no need when you can make a guitar ‘feel’ like that... great version of this song.

There will never be another Merle Haggard... RIP you where a great Singer..

Thank you for the video. Merle can still live on through KZread!

As he got older, his voice got better. Hard not to cry when singing along with this one.

Hey....I saw this and I thought...no his voice didn't get better as he got older...it was always better....I sure can't pick one version over the other, loving them all as I do....and then I realized I'm coming on here and disagreeing with my own self. Sure is hard for me to get through without my voice breaking.

I cry each time as if I'm hearing it for the first time.

Such a beautiful, that traverses so many genres. imo, anyway..I don't see how anyone could not find this a beautiful song, no matter what they normally listen to. ..Even in this day and age. Songs like this are timeless. again, imo.

Man, yall better grab a handkerchief and hold on to your heart when gets to the part “ you see there’s this song that my mama sang.....”

The best singer in the world!

Thumbs down must be hard of hearing! This is the best and I miss Merle's and his beautiful voice!

Love his music. Legend for sure ❤️

Awesome, love this version .

RIP Hag, next to George Jones you definitely are the best country singer every.

Merle Haggard looks great, now of course he is in heaven.

mERLE SAID HE WANTED TO BE REMEMBERED AS A JAZZ GUITARIST WHO LOVED TO PLAY COUNTRY. RIP.

Never, never be another to even come close to this man.

My brother Rick loved Merle and me think of all his music, God bless you, Merle!

Sing Me Back Home, what an awesome song, this song by Merle Haggard brings back so many happy memories for me,. My beloved Papa Bear loved country western songs, now of course I am making memories .

Even tho he is showing his age 74, he can still sing. We pray that God will keep him in good health. I have the DVD of this event it's awesome. Thanks for posting this for others.

A fine Man That was Truly A Country Singer! He helped me through life sometimes crying,sometimes happy but Always Smiling. Rest In Peace Merle and Say Hello To George Jones Tammy and Johnny Cash and so many others! You will Be Missed. Robin.💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

MERLE,IS SO GREAT Its SO SAD HE,s GONE HOME ,BUT HE LEFT US AS A TRUE MASTER OF HIS TALENT,WHAT A VOICE HE HAD TO SING WITH, RIGHT FROM HIS HEART AND SOUL.RIP MERLE.😎🎸🔊🎶☮️ BOB.

Love you Merle... You are my dope... You make me feel heaven...

Moi, personnellement quand j'écoute du bon country américain celà me rappelle ma chère mère qui avait ça dans elle ! Et c'est vrai que écouter c'est belle chanson sa fait du bien ! ☀️

This Y2K Concert at the MGm in Los Vegas was we're I fell in love with Country Music

There's going to be a heck of a jam section tonight. RIP Hag

When I see Theresa(Merle's wife)there, I was surprised how much she and I look alike. I am six foot tall, ahtletic frame, broad shoulders,,,but I dont' have those blue eyes,,,only green! Terrifc lady that Merle married, he was blessed for sure. She gave him two beautiful kids too! I'm almost 60, just a couple years younger than Theresa, my husband passed in 2020, he was 16 years older.

Merle the best....

Happy Birthday, and may you RIP Hag, you, and your music will always live on in our hearts forever.

I love this version over all the others. At 3:04 when he stammers out the condemned man's request, you can see the pain in his eyes and that was the whole essence of the song and I think of Merle Haggard.

I love to sing harmony to this Merle Haggard's song.

Ronnie Reno, Bonnie Campbell Owens, looks like Constance Stuart, and others invited to be on the stage with Mister Haggard.

Åh, denne er bare så nydelig, med den fantastiske stemmen og gitarspillet er det bare å gi seg over... takk Ronja Alex

I liked it better when Merle did the guitar instrumental turnaround
