Over Yonder (Jonathan's Song)

The warden said he'd mail my letter

The chaplain's waitin' by the door

Tonight we'll cross the yard together

Then they can't hurt me anymore

I am going over yonder

Where no ghost can follow me

There's another place beyond here

Where I'll be free I believe

Give my radio to Johnson

Thibodeaux can have my fan

Send my Bible home to Mama

Call her every now and then

I suppose I got it comin'

I can't ever pay enough

All my rippin' and a runnin'

I hurt everyone I loved

The world'll turn around without me

The sun'll come up in the east

Shinin' down on all of them that hate me

I hope my goin' brings 'em peace
