Prisoner's Song Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

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'm tired of living alone. 

Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight 

Oh, 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 darling would suffer 

Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold. 

Now if I had the wings like 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
