1. 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 living alone. |
|
2. Oh, 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. |
|
3. 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. |
|
4. 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. |
|
5. 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 darling, |
|
And there I'd be willing to die. |
