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 livin' alone. Oh, please 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. 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 darlin' would suffer, Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold. 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 poor darlin', And there I'd be willing to die.
