Meet me by the moonlight love meet me

   Meet me by the moonlight alone alone

   I have a sad story to tell you

   All down by the moonlight alone



I've always loved you my darling

You said I've never been true

I'd do anything just to please you

I'd die any day just for you



I have a ship on the ocean

All lined with silver and gold

And before my little darling shall suffer

I'll have the ship anchored and sold



If I had wings like an angel

Over these prison walls I would fly

I'd fly to the arms of my darling

And there I'd be willing to die
