Prisoner's Song

• C

               C              C7              F 
    Oh, I wish I had someone to love me, 
            G                G7               C 
    oh, someone to call me their own. 
                               C7              F 
    Oh, I wish I had someone to live with, 
               G         G7            C 
    for I'm tired of living all alone. 

                        C             C7                 F 
    Please do meet me tonight in the moonlight, 
                        G             G7          C 
    please do meet me tonight all alone, 
                                C7              F 
    for I have a sad story I’ll tell you, 
               G              G7              C 
    it's a story that's never been told. 

               C                   C7             F 
    I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow, 
                 G            G7        C 
    leaving my poor darling alone, 
                                    C7           F 
    with the cold prison bars all around me, 
                   G             G7           C 
    and my head on a pillow of stone. 

              C                    C7            F 
    But I have a great ship on the ocean, 
            G                 G7             C 
    all mounted with silver and gold, 
                                     C7                  F 
    and before my poor darling would suffer 
                      G         G7                   C 
    this ship would be anchored and sold. 

              C              C7                F 
    Oh,  if I had the wings of a swallow, 
               G                G7                C 
    over these prison walls I would fly, 
                                C7                        F 
    I would  fly to the arms of my poor darling, 
              G               G7              C 
    and there I'd be willing for to die. 

                        C             C7                 F 
    Please do meet me tonight in the moonlight, 
                        G             G7          C 
    please do meet me tonight all alone, 
                                C7              F 
    for I have a sad story I’ll tell you, 
               G              G7              C     F C 
    it's a story that's never been told.
