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 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
(I'll be carried to the new jail to morrow
leaving my poor 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 gold
And before my poor darling would suffer
that ship would be anchored and sold
