IE came through the fence in ?93
AndCadd9 I know that they are after me toGday F

OfCadd9 hope, and grace, and libertyG F
Oh, myE grandfather, he told me

Oh, but EI broke the law
Which Cadd9I will surely die forG F
But, now
Cadd9I am on my way
I Ehave to leave today,
TeGll my wife and boy that I lDove them
