The Prisoner's Song lyrics

Artist Bill Monroe
Album(s) At His Best

Lyrics

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

2. oh, 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

3. 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

4. now I have a grand ship on the ocean
All mounted with silver and gold
And before my poor darling would suffer
Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold

5. 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 darling
And there I'd be willing to die
