When Alexander Met Emma |
| From the Bowery to old Suffolk Street |
| A five dollar bill in her pocket |
| And a worldful of people to meet |
| Ships rigging up in the Hudson |
| Waiting for love to set sail |
| Emma she tells Alexander |
| «I'll be there when you walk from the jail» |
| «Take my hand. |
| I’ll take yours |
| Save my life. |
| I’ll save yours.» |
| Newspaper talk turns to headlines |
| A love so cemented in fame |
| A word to the strike-breaking bosses |
| Propaganda in deed and in name |
| Fourteen long years on the island |
| It’s a lifetime of summers to wait |
| And Emma, she meets Alexander |
| As they unlock the last prison gate |
| «Take my hand. |
| I’ll take yours |
| Save my life. |
| I’ll save yours.» |
