Lyrics
Meet Me By The Moonlight Alone
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.
I'm going to my new jail tomorrow
To leave the one that I love
To leave my friends and relations
And oh how lonely my love
Meet me by the moonlight love meet me
Meet me by the moonlight alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
To be told by the moonlight alone
My parents have cruelly treat me
They drive me away from their door
If I live a hundred years longer
I'll never go back anymore
If I had a ship on the ocean
All laid and lined with pure gold
Before my darling should suffer
I'd have that ship anchored and sold
If I had the wings of an angel
O'er land and sea I would fly
I'd fly to the arms of my darling
And I'd be willing to die
