G D G
After seven years behind these bars together,
D G G7
I'll miss you more than a brother when you go, when you go,
C G
if only I had not tried to escape,
A A7 D D7
they'd pardon me with you, I know, yes, I know.
G D G
Won't you tell the folks back home I'll soon be coming,
D G G7
and don't let them know, I never will be free, be free.
C G
Sometimes write and tell me how they're doing,
D D7 G G7
and send a picture of mother back to me.
C G
Say hello to Dad and shake his poor hardworking hand,
D D7 G
and send a picture of mother, if you can.
G D G
I'm happy for you that you got your freedom,
D G G7
but stay with me just another minute or so, or so,
C G
after all this sweat 'n’ blood together,
A A7 D D7
who'll be my fighting partner when you go, when you go ?
G D G
The hardest time will be on Sunday morning,
D G G7
church bells will ring on Heaven Hill, Heaven Hill.
C G
Please, ask Reverend Garrett to pray for me,
D D7 G G7
and send a picture of mother, if you will.
C G
Say hello to Dad and shake his poor hardworking hand,
D D7 G
and send a picture of mother, if you can.
