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 sleep with |
| Cause I’m tired of sleeping all alone |
| Please meet me tonight in the moonlight |
| Please meet me tonight all alone |
| For I had 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 ol' darling all alone |
| With the cold prison bars all around me |
| And my head on a pillow of stone |
| Now I have a grand ship out on the ocean |
| All mounted with silver and with gold |
| And before my poor darling would suffer |
| That ship would be anchored and sold |
| Now if I had the wings of an angel |
| Over these prison walls I would fly |
| And I’d fly to the arms of my poor darling |
| And there I’d be willing to die |
