6 6 7 4 -4 5 -4 4 -5 -5
Oh, I wish I had someone to love me,
-7 -6 5 5 -5 5 -4
Someone to call me their own.
6 6 7 4 -4 5 -4 4 -5 -5
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with
-5 -5 -7 -6 5 5 -4 4
‘Cause I’m tired of livin’ alone.

Same melody for the following verses.

2 Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight,
Please meet me tonight all alone,
For I have a sad story to tell you,
It’s a story that’s never been told

3 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.

4 Now I have a grand ship on the ocean,
All mounted with silver and gold,
And before my poor darlin’ would suffer,
Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold.

5 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 darlin’,
And there I’d be willing to die.
