[Verse 1] After seven years behind these bars together Ill miss you more than a brother when you go. when you go If only I had not tried to escape Theyd barred me with you, I know, yes I know Wont you tell the folks back home Ill soon be coming And dont let them know I never will be free, be free Sometimes write and tell me how theyre doing And send a picture of mother back to me [Chorus] Say hello to dad and shake his poor hardworking hand And send a picture of mother if you can [Verse 2] Im 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 Wholl 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 [Chorus] Say hello to dad and shake his poor hardworking hand And send a picture of mother if you can
send, mother, hardworking, picture, hello
