Over Yonder (Jonathan's Song)

Over Yonder (Jonathan's Song)

(album: Transcendental Blues - 2000)

The warden said he'd mail my letter
The chaplain's waiting 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 coming
I can't ever pay enough
All my ripping and a running
I hurt everyone I loved

The world'll turn around without me
The sun'll come up in the east
Shining down on all of them that hate me
I hope my going brings 'em peace

done
