Vernon Dalhart - The Prisoner's Song lyrics

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 Leavin' my poor darlin' 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 wings like 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 willin' to die
