Over Yonder (jonathan's Song) Lyrics - Earle Steve

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.
