Eddy Arnold - Prisoner´s Song lyrics

Album: All-Time Hits from the Hills <RCA Victor> (1952)

(Guy Massey)

Oh, I wish I had someone to love me
Yes, someone to call me their own
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with
´Cause I am tired of living alone.

Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight
Oh, please meet me tonight all alone
For I´ve a sad story to tell you
It is a story that is never been told.

--- Instrumental ---

I will 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´ve a grand ship on the ocean
All mounted with silver & gold
And before my poor darling would suffer
Oh, that ship would be anchored & sold.

Now if I had the wings like an angel
Over these prison walls I´d fly
And I would fly to the arms of my darling
And there I would be willing to die...
