Oh I wish I had someone to love me
  Someone to call me their own
  I wish I had someone to live with
  IÂ?m tired of living alone.
  
  So meet me tonite love oh meet me
  Meet me out in the moonlight alone
  For I have a sad story to tell you
  Must be told in the moonlight alone.
  
  I have a great ship on the ocean
  All mounted in silver and gold
  And before my little darling would suffer
  That ship would be anchored and sold
  
  IÂ?ll be carried to the new jail tomorrow
  Leaving my poor sweetheart alone
  With these cold prison bars all around me
  And my head on a pillow of stone
  
  If I had the wings of an angel
  Over these prison walls I would fly
  I would fly to the arms of my darlin
  And there IÂ?d be willing to die
