Lyrics

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, 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 hardworkin' 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 sweatin' blood together
 Who'll be my fightin' 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 hardworkin' hand
 And send a picture of mother if you can
