The Prisoner's Song (R.U.S. Bonus)

Recorded in 1925 by Vernon Dalhart. He did make some recordings with Thomas Alva Edison, but this wasn't one of the songs he did. A commenter on a video of his version (see bottom) claims that a singer named Frank Crummett recorded the song before Dalhart. I don't really care who recorded it first, which makes me wish I hadn't said anything about it in the video.

A.K.A. "I Wish I Had Someone to Love Me"
Chords: D D7 G - / A A7 D - ://
Lyrics:
Oh, I wish I had someone to love me
Someone to call me their own
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with
'Cause I'm tired of livin' alone

Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight
Please meet me tonight all alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
It's a story that's never been told

I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow
Leaving my poor darling alone
With the cold prison bars all around me
And my head on a pillow of stone

Now I have a grand ship on the ocean
All mounted with silver and gold
And before my poor darlin' would suffer
Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold

Now if I had the wings of an angel
Over these prison walls I would fly
And I'd fly to the arms of my poor darlin'
And there I'd be willing to die

Here's Vernon Dalhart doing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0tg5u9y2Ps
