(D)The warden said he'd mail my (A)letter

(D)Where no (G)ghost can follow (D)me (A)

Give my radio to Johnson 
Thibodeaux can have my fan 
Send my Bible home to Mama 
Call her every now and then. 
Chorus 

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. 
Chorus
