Johnny Cash - Send a Picture of Mother lyrics
[Johnny Cash - Send a Picture of Mother 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 coming
And don't let them know I
Never will be free, be free
Sometimes write and tell me
How they're doing
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'm 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 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
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 coming
And don't let them know I
Never will be free, be free
Sometimes write and tell me
How they're doing
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'm 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 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
Say hello to dad and shake
His poor hardworking hand
And send a picture of mother if you can
