Send A Picture of Mother Lyrics
(Johnny Cash)
© '62 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP
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 try to escape that partin' 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 hard working hand
And send a picture of mother if you can
I'm happy for you that you've got your freedom
But stay with me just another minute or so or so
After all this sweat and 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 hard working hand
And send a picture of mother if you can
