Send a Picture of Mother

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 comin'
 And don't let them know I never will be free (will be free)
 Sometimes write and tell me how they're doin'
 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 am 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 fightin' partner when you go (when you go)
 The hardest time will be on Sunday mornin'
 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
