Oh I wish I had someone to love me

Someone to call me their own

I wish I had someone to live with

I?m tired of living alone.



So meet me tonite love oh meet me

Meet me out in the moonlight alone

For I have a sad story to tell you

Must be told in the moonlight alone.



I have a great ship on the ocean

All mounted in silver and gold

And before my little darling would suffer

That ship would be anchored and sold



I?ll be carried to the new jail tomorrow

Leaving my poor sweetheart alone

With these cold prison bars all around me

And my head on a pillow of stone



If I had the wings of an angel

Over these prison walls I would fly

I would fly to the arms of my darlin

And there I?d be willing to die
