The Prisoners Song
G C
Now if I had wings like an angel
D7 G
Over these prison walls I would fly
C
And I'd fly to the arms of my darling
D7 G
And there I'd be willing to die
C
Now I wish I had someone to love me
D7 G
Someone to call me their own
C
Oh I wish I had someone to live with
D7 G
'Cause I'm tired of living alone
G C
In my mind I have a grand ship on the ocean
D7 G
All mounted with silver and gold
C
And before my poor darling would suffer
D7 G
That ship would be anchored and sold
G C
I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow
D7 G
Leaving my poor darling all alone
C
With the cold prison bars all around me
D7 G
And my head on a pillow of stone
G C
Now if I had wings like an angel
D7 G
Over these prison walls I would fly
C
And I'd fly to the arms of my darling
D7 G
And there I'd be willing to die
