David Coe Allan - Prisoner's Song
C F
Well if I had, the wings of an angel
C D
Over these prison walls, I would fly
C F
Yes I?d fly to the arms of my darlin?
C D C
And there, I?d be willing to die.
C F
And I wish I had someone to love me
C G
Someone to call me their own
C F
And I wish I had someone to live with
C G C
Cause I?m so tired, of livin? alone.
C F
Please me tonight, in the moonlight
C G
Please me tonight, all alone
C F
For I have a sad story to tell you
C G C
It?s a story, that?s never been told.
C F
And I guess I?m gonna be carried to the new jail tomorrow
C G
And that means I?ll be leavin? my poor darlin? alone
C F
With those old cold prison bars all around me
C G C D
And I?m gonna lay there lookin? like hell on the cold stone.
D G
You know I had a big ol? grand ship out on the ocean
D A
Why it was all mounded with silver and gold
D G
There?s nothin? for my poor darlin? to suffer
D A D
That old ship, will be angry and sold.
D G
And if I had, the wings of an angel
D A
Over these prison walls, I would fly
D G
And I?d fly to the arms of my darlin?
D A D
And there, I?d be willing to die.
D G
Well if I had, the wings of an angel
D A
Over those prison walls, I would fly
D G
Yes I?d fly to the arms of my darlin?
D A D
And there, I?d be willing to die.
