The Prisoner's Song

(Guy Massey)



Oh, I wish I had someone to love me

Yes, someone to call me their own

Oh, I wish I had someone to live with

'Cause I'm tired of living alone.



Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight

Oh, 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 darling would suffer

Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold.



Now if I had the wings like an angel

Over these prison walls I would fly

And I'd fly to the arms of my darling

And there I'd be willing to die...
