The Prisoners Song Songtext
von Vernon Dalhart
The Prisoners Song Songtext
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 livin′ alone
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
I′ll be carried to the new jail tomorrow
Leavin′ my poor darlin' 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 darlin′ would suffer
Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold
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
Someone to call me their own
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with
′Cause I'm tired of livin′ alone
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
I′ll be carried to the new jail tomorrow
Leavin′ my poor darlin' 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 darlin′ would suffer
Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold
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
