After seven years behind these bars together |
|
I'll miss you more than a brother when you go when you go |
|
If only I had not tried to escape |
|
They'd barred me with you I know yes I know |
|
Won't you tell the folks back home I'll soon be coming |
|
And don't let them know I never will be free be free |
|
Sometimes write and tell me how they're doing |
|
And send a picture of mother back to me |
|
Say hello to Dad and shake his poor hardworking hand |
|
And send a picture of mother if you can |
|
I'm happy for you that you got your freedom |
|
But stay with me just another minute or so or so |
|
After all this sweating blood together |
|
Who'll be my fighting partner when you go when you go |
|
The hardest time will be on Sunday morning |
|
Church bells will ring on Heaven Hill Heaven Hill |
|
Please ask Reverend Garrett to pray for me |
|
And send a picture of mother if you will |
|
Say hello to Dad and shake his poor hardworking hand |
|
And send a picture of mother if you can |
