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, 
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 darlin' would suffer, 
Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold. 

Now if I had the wings of 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 willing to die.
