Send a Picture of Mother (If You Can) 
Written by: Johnny Cash 
Recorded Live January 13, 1968 at Folsom Prison in California 
Source: Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison (Columbia Records) 
 
C After seven years behind Em these bars C together 
C I'll miss you more than a Em brother when you go D7 when you go  
Em If only I had not tried to escape C 
D They'd barred me with you I know Em yes I know 
 
C Won't you tell the folks back Em home I'll soon be C coming 
C And don't let them know I Em never will be free D7 be free 
Em Sometimes write and tell me how they're doing C 
D And send a picture of mother back to me C 
 
D Say hello to Dad and shake his C poor hardworking hand 
Em And send a picture of mother if you can C 
 
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
