One more, and then I'll be satisfied.

The Prisoner's Song
From the John Burch Blaylock Collection. This has all three of the characteristic elements—the jail, the moonlight, and the ship.

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 me tonight in the moonlight,
Meet me out in the moonlight 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,
Leaving my poor darling alone,
With those cold prison bars all around me
And my head on a pillow of stone.

I wish I had wings like an angel;
From these dark prison walls I would fly,
I would fly to the arms of my darling
And there I'd be willing to die.

I have a fine ship on the ocean,
All lined with silver and gold
And before my poor darling should suffer
My fine ship would be anchored and sold.
