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 all alone
Please meet me tonight in the moonlight please meet me tonight all alone
For I had 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 ol` darlin` all alone
With the cold prison walls 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 darlin` would suffer that ship would be anchored and sold
Now if I had the wings of 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 willing to die
