Carter Family-Meet Me By The Moonlight Alone (Prisoners Song)
Loading...
Uploaded by 50sJohnny on Jan 9, 2011
I'm going to the new jail tomorrow
To leave the one that I love
To leave my friends and relations
And, oh, how lonely, my love
Meet me by the moonlight, love, meet me
Meet me by the moonlight alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
To be told by the moonlight alone
My parents, how cruel they treat me
They drive me away from their door
If I live 100 years longer
I'll never go back any more
If I had a ship on the ocean
All laden and lined with pure gold
Before my darling should suffer
I'd have that ship anchored and sold
Meet me by the moonlight, love, meet me
Meet me by the moonlight alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
To be told by the moonlight alone
Oh, I wish I had someone to love me
Someone to call me their own
someone to always be with me
Cause I'm tired of living alone
If I had the wings of an angel
Over land and sea I'd fly
I'd fly to the arms of my darling
Then I'd be willing to die
Meet me by the moonlight, love, meet me
Meet me by the moonlight alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
To be told by the moonlight alone
