the lyrics:
Oh I wish I had someone to love me,
Someone to call me their own.
Oh I wish I had someone to sleep with
'Cause I'm tired of sleeping all alone.
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.
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 ship out on the ocean
All mounted with silver and with gold
And before my poor darling would suffer
The ship would be anchored and sold.
Now if I had the wings of an angel,
All of these prison walls I would fly.
And I'd fly to the arms of my poor darling
And there I'd be willing to die.
