Prisoner's Song Songtext
von Bill Monroe

Now, if I had the wings like an angel
Over these prison walls I would fly
I would fly to the arms of my darling
And there I′d be willing to die

Oh, meet me tonight before leaving
Meet me out in the moonlight alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
Must be told in the moonlight alone


Now I have a ship on the ocean
All mounted with silver and gold
And before my little darling would suffer
That ship would be anchored and sold

Oh, meet tonight before leaving
Meet me out in the moonlight alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
Must be told in the moonlight alone

Oh, I wish I had someone to love me
Someone to call me their own
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with
For I'm tired of living alone


Oh, meet tonight before leaving
Meet me out in the moonlight alone
For I have a sad story I wanna tell you
Must be told in the moonlight alone
