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
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
