The Prisoner's Song

Oh, I wish I had someone to love me Yes, someone to call me their own Oh, I wish I had someone to live with Cause I'm tired of living alone. Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight Oh, 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 Leaving my poor darling 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 darling would suffer Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold. Now if I had the wings like an angel Over these prison walls I would fly And I'd fly to the arms of my darling And there I'd be willing to die
