The Prisoner's Song

Lyrics

Oh, I wish I had someone to love me
 Someone to call me their own
 Oh, I wish I had someone to live with
 'Cause I'm tired of livin' alone
 Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight
 Please meet me tonight all alone
 For I have a sad story to tell you
 It's a story that's never been told
 I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow
 Leavin' my poor darlin' alone
 With the cold prison bars all around me
 And my head on a pillow of stone
 Now I have a grand ship on the ocean
 All mounted with silver and gold
 And before my poor darlin' would suffer
 Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold
 Now if I had wings like an angel
 Over these prison walls I would fly
 And I'd fly to the arms of my poor darlin'
 And there I'd be willin' to die
