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 little darling all alone

                                C
With the cold prison walls 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
