The Prisoners Song - 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 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
