Prisoner's Song

1 4
If I had the wings like an angel
5 1
Over these prison walls I would fly
4
I would fly to the arms of my darlin
5 1
And there I’d be willing to die
 

Meet me tonight love oh meet me
Meet me out in the moonlight alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
Must be told in the moonlight alone

Now I have a ship on the ocean
All mounted with silver and gold
And before my little darlin’ would suffer
That ship would be anchored and sold

Oh I wish I had someone to love me
Someone to call me their own
I wish I had someone to live with
For I’m tired of living alone
