Burrito Brothers Sing Me Back Home written by Merle Haggard

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I got up 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
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

SOLO

I recall last Sunday morning when a choir came in from town
And got up to sing a few old gospel songs
Then I heard him tell the singers there’s a song my mama sang.
Would you sing it just once before we move along
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

Flying Burrito Brothers Crazy Arms written by Seals/Mooney

Well Blue aint the word for the way that I feel
There’s a storm that’s brewing in this heart of mine.
This is no crazy dream, I know that it’s real.
That why I’m so lonesome all the time
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new,
While my aching heart keeps saying you’re not mine.
This is no crazy dream I know that’s it’s real
Right now I’m so lonesome all the time

SOLO

So Please take the treasured dreams I’ve had for you and me.
And take all the love I thought was mine.
Cause Someday my troubled arms will hold someone new
But now I’m so lonesome all the time.
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new,
While my aching heart keeps saying you’re not mine.
My troubled mind knows that soon to another you’ll be wed
That’s why I’m so lonesome all the time
