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

[ steel ]

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
