Oh I wish I had someone to love me

Someone to call me their own

I wish I had someone to live with

I'm tired of living alone

Oh meet me tonight lover meet me

Meet me in the morning let alone

For I have a sad story to tell you

It's a story in the morning let alone

Now I have a ship on the ocean

All mounted with silver and gold

And before my darling would suffer

That ship would be anchored and sold

Oh meet me tonight lover made me

Meet me in the morning let alone

For I have a sad story to tell you

It's a story in the morning let alone

Now if I had wings like an angel

Over these prison walls I would fly

And I'd fly to the arms of my darling

And there I'd be willing to die

Oh meet me tonight the lover made me

Meet me in the morning let alone

For I have a sad story to tell you

It's a story in the morning let alone
