| Under my bed, you can set your little satchel
|
| And on my head come lay your little hand
|
| If you will be my own true lover
|
| I will be your loving little man
|
| Run to the house and ask your papa
|
| Bride of mine you’ll ever be
|
| If he says no, come back and tell me
|
| And I will wait for you to be free
|
| When you get free then we’ll get married
|
| Look how happy we will be
|
| Oh, we’ll go to California
|
| Any place you want to go
|
| Oh, we’ll go to Louisiana
|
| Settle down when we get home
|
| I wish I was a little angel
|
| And over these prison walls I would fly
|
| I’d fly on back to the arms of my darlin'
|
| Stay at home and there I would die
|
| But you can see that I’m no little angel
|
| Neither have my wings to fly
|
| So I’ll go back all broken hearted
|
| Weep and moan until I die |
