Another "ship on the ocean" version from Arkansas.

Lyr. Add; MEET ME BY MOONLIGHT

There is a fine ship on the ocean
All lined with a silvery hoard,
Its name is Abraham Lincoln
And I'm sure that my Willie's on board.

Chorus-
Oh meet me, oh meet me by moonlight,
Oh meet me by moonlight alone,
I have a sad story to tell you,
Must be by the moonlight alone.

Oh, where has my Willie now gone to?
He's out on the wild raging sea,
He's out on the ocean a-sailing,
And he'll never come back to me.

I wish I knew of an angel
To lend me his wings for to fly,
I'd fly to the arms of my Willie,
And there I would lay down and die.

P. 226-228, With music. Randolph compares with "The Prisoner's Song."
