Papa Sing Me A Song Lyrics

[ with Charles Haney ]
Every son wants to follow in the footsteps of his dad That's why my boy is in this cell next to me Tonight I'll sing him a song about mama and home For tomorrow he'll meet his destiny
So I'll sing him a song about mama and home It's all that's kept him from losing his mind I'll sing him a song about mama and home But tonight I'll sing my last time
(In the morning at sunrise they're gonna take my boy out to hang [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/papa-sing-me-a-song-lyrics-conway-twitty.html ] And the scaffold and thirteen steps they built near by my door But I know that when the warden leads him past my cell Yes he's gonna say papa sing me a song once more)
Papa sing me a song about mama and home It's all that's kept me from losing my mind Papa sing me a song about mama and home But sing a song to die by this time Papa sing me a song to die by this time
