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' lone
Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight
Please meet me tonight all lone
For I have a sad story to tell you
It's a story that's never been told
I'll be caried to the new jail tomorrow
Leaving my poor darling all 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 willing to die
Someone to call me their own
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with
'Cause I'm tired of livin' lone
Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight
Please meet me tonight all lone
For I have a sad story to tell you
It's a story that's never been told
I'll be caried to the new jail tomorrow
Leaving my poor darling all 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 willing to die
