The Prisoner's Song

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.



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.



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.



Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight

Please meet me tonight all alone

For I have a sad story to tell you

Must be told in the moonlight all alone.



Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight

Please meet me tonight all alone

For I have a sad story to tell you

Must be told in the moonlight all alone.
