"Sing Me Back Home" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Merle Haggard and The Strangers.

Haggard himself spent three years at San Quentin State Prison in California for his role in a botched robbery.

[3][5][6] Here, the singer takes the role of an inmate at a state penitentiary, where a condemned prisoner is being led toward the death chamber.

The inmate, who regularly plays guitar and sings in his jail cell to pass the time, is asked to perform a final song at the condemned prisoner's request before he and the guards continue on.

The Flying Burrito Brothers recorded a version with Gram Parsons singing that never appeared on a studio album but was included in the 1974 compilation, Close up the Honky Tonks.
