The warden said he'd mail my letter

Tonight we'll cross the yard together

'Cause I am going over yonder 
F        C                G 
Where no ghost can follow me 
C                        F 
There's another place beyond here

Where I'll be free I believe, you can...

I suppose I got it comin' 
C                      G

Where I'll be free that's what I believe
