The Prisoner's Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 living alone
[Verse 2]
Oh please meet me tonight in the moonlight
Won't you meet me tonight all alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
It's a story that's never been told
[Verse 3]
I'll be carried 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
[Verse 4]
Now I have a grand shift on the ocean
All mounted with silver and gold
And before my poor darling should suffer
Oh that ship would be anchored and sold
[Verse 5]
Now if I had wings like an angel
Over these prison walls I would fly
I would fly to the arms of my poor darling
And there I'd be willing to die
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 living alone
Oh please meet me tonight in the moonlight
Won't you 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 all alone
With the cold prison bars all around me
And my head on a pillow of stone
Now I have a grand shift on the ocean
All mounted with silver and gold
And before my poor darling should suffer
Oh that ship would be anchored and sold
Now if I had wings like an angel
Over these prison walls I would fly
I would fly to the arms of my poor darling
And there I'd be willing to die
