    A                       D    A
Oh, I wish I had someone to love me
                              E
Yes, someone to call me their own
      A                     D    A
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with
          D        E           A
Cause I'm tired of living all alone

       A                      D   A
Please meet me tonight in the moonlight
                            E
Please meet me tonight all alone
    A                     D    A
For I have a sad story to tell you
       D            E          A
It's a story that's never been told

        A                         D  A
I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow
                             E
Leaving my poor ol' darling alone
         A                     D     A
With the cold prison bars all around me
       D         E         A
And my head on a pillow of stone

       A                            D  A
Now, I have a grand ship out on the ocean
                            E
All mounted with silver and gold
      A                          D  A
And before my poor darling would suffer
     D             E            A
That ship would be anchored and sold

     A                        D  A
Now, if I had the wings of an angel
                                E
Over these prison walls I would fly
        A                          D  A
And I'd fly to the arms of my poor darling
    D            E          A
And there I'd be willing to die

    A                       D    A
Oh, I wish I had someone to love me
                              E
Yes, someone to call me their own
      A                     D    A
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with
          D        E           A
Cause I'm tired of living all alone
