The Prisoner's Song
Jimmie Davis
GENRE
[Verse 1]
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 living alone
[Verse 2]
Oh please meet me tonight in the moonlight
Won't you meet me tonight all alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
It's a story that's never been told
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Now I have a grand shift on the ocean
All mounted with silver and gold
And before my poor darling should suffer
Oh that ship would be anchored and sold
[Verse 5]
Now if I had wings like an angel
Over these prison walls I would fly
I would fly to the arms of my poor darling
And there I'd be willing to die
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 living alone
[Verse 2]
Oh please meet me tonight in the moonlight
Won't you meet me tonight all alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
It's a story that's never been told
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Now I have a grand shift on the ocean
All mounted with silver and gold
And before my poor darling should suffer
Oh that ship would be anchored and sold
[Verse 5]
Now if I had wings like an angel
Over these prison walls I would fly
I would fly to the arms of my poor darling
And there I'd be willing to die
