 Oh, I wish I had some-one to love me
 Some-one to call me their own
 Oh, I wish I had some-one to live with
 'Cause I'm ti-red of liv-in' a-lone

 Oh, please meet me to-night in the moon-light
 Please meet me to-night all a-lone
 For I have a sad sto-ry to tell you
 It's a sto-ry that's nev-er been told

 I'll be car-ried to the new jail to-mor-row
 Leav-ing my poor dar-ling all a-lone
 With the cold pris-on bars all a-round me
 And my head on a pil-low of stone

 Now I have a grand ship on the o-cean
 All mount-ed with sil-ver and gold
 And be-fore my poor dar-lin' would suf-fer
 Oh! that ship would be an-chored and sold

 Now if I had wings like an an-gel
 O-ver these pri-son walls I would fly
 And I'd fly to the arms of my poor dar-lin'
 And there I'd be wil-ling to die
