Prisoner's Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
[ steel ]
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
