Song Lyrics Unknown - Prisoners Song    [Lyrics & Song Text Archive] lyrics archive>> U>> Unknown Singer Lyrics [Unknown other resources]>> Prisoners Song Song Lyrics Author/Artist/Singer: Unknown Music Title/Track: Prisoners Song Theme ID: 5202 Album: N/A THE PRISONER'S SONG Oh I wish I had someone to love me Someone to call me her own, Oh I wish I had someone to live with For I'm tired of living alone. Oh please meet me tonight in the moonlight Plwease meet me tonight all alone For I have a sad story to tell you It's a story that's never been told. I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow Leavin' my poor darlin' alone With the cold prison bars all around me And my head on a pillow of stone Now I have a grand ship on the ocean All mounted with silver and gold And before my poor darling would suffer. Oh that ship would be anchored and sold. Now if I had wings like an angel Over these prison walls I would fly. And I'd fly to the arms of my poor darling And there I'd be willing to die. Note: From Vernon Dalhart recording, 1924. This was the flip side of Wreck of the old 97, and Dahlhart made several cover versions for some 30 different labels. This was clearly the single most popular record ---of any type--- produced at the time, with reported sales up in the billions of records being reported. A decade later, Acuff covered it, and sold another million or so. @jail filename[ PRSNRSNG play.exe PRSNRSNG RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Punch And Judy, Put Another Log On The Fire, Put It In A Cool Dry Place, Putting On The Style, Quantrell, Quare Bungle Rye, Quartermaster Corps, Queen Eleanors Confession, Queen Of Connemara, Queen Of Elfans Nourice, Queen Of Hearts, Queen Of The Rails, Rabbis Daughter, Racing With My Heart, Raftsmans Song, Ragged But Right, Raging Canal Two In The Middle, Raging Canoe Sent My Brown Jug Etc, Ragtime Cowboy Joe, Ragtime Suffragette, Rail Cutters, Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill And The Kitten, Rake And Rambling Boy, Rakes Of Mallow, Rakes Of Poverty, Rambleaway, Ramblin Rover, Rambling Sailor, Rambling Sailor Trimrigged Doxy, Ramsey County Jail, Randy Dandy Oh, Ranger Fight Song, Rantin Laddie, Rantin Rovin Robin, Ranzo, Ranzo Rae, Ranzo Ray, Raptaptap, Rare Ould Times, Raspberry Lane, Rat Race, Ratcliffe Highway, Rattlin Bog, Rattling Ford, Razorback Steak, Recipe For Hot Cider, Recruited Collier, Red Apple Juice, Red Boogie Blues, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
