Hank Snow - Prisoner's Song lyrics

Oh I wish I had someone to love me Yes someone to call me their own Oh I wish I had someone to sleep with Cause I'm tired of sleeping all alone Please meet me tonight in the moonlight Please meet me tonight all alone For I had 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 ol' darling all alone With the cold prison bars all around me And my head on a pillow of stone Now I have a grand ship out on the ocean All mounted with silver and with gold And before my poor darling would suffer 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 darling And there I'd be willing to die [ guitar ]
