Lyr Req: Innocent Prisoner

A friend is looking for the lyrics to a song called "The Innocent Prisoner." He says it begins something like "On a bright starry night that two lovers/They were happy and carefree and gay...." Sound familiar? Thanks. Margaret

O Margaret. I spent hours yesterday searching...starry night, prisoner, innocent.....even happy and carefree and gay!!!! Still no luck......I'm sure somebody will come up with it eventually if we keep the thread around.
best wishes, Yvonne

Thanks so much for trying, Yvonne! I may not be seeing my friend for another month or so but perhaps I can get him to give me a few more words. Margaret

All I could find was reference to a 78(rpm) recording of 'The New 21 Years / Innocent Prisoner' by Frank Luther at worldwidewax

Don't know if this is the same song, but it might give you an extra lead.

Thanks for the lead, Noreen. I've never heard of Frank Luther but I'll see where it takes me... Margaret

Just refreshing this to see if anyone else is about who might have the lyrics to this song... thanks. Margaret
