I feel so tired my eyes burn with pain
I know my time has come to smile or make an end
Looks like I’m on my way back to San Quentin
I guess there ain’t no where else to go
Refrain:
So take me together back home to my friends
Take me together so I can see my momma smile
Take me together so I can see their life
And the smile of their hearts
And I know I’ll be alright
You know last night I dreamed I was floatin’
Dow the bayou
I dreamed I had a home of my own
The catfish were jumpin’ so high
You could reach out
You could reach out and grab ‘em
I then I woke up,
I woke up and wandered on alone
(Repeat Refrain)
Now I’m waiting in the chamber door
Of tomorrow
Waitin’ for the chaplain’s final prayer to end
You’ve got to take me all together
Dear God, God please take me as I am
‘Cause You know I ain’t got
I ain’t got no one else
So take me together with all the dreams that I’ve had
Take me together or please don’t take me at all
Just let me go on alone
And never find love –
The one thing I’ve never known
