                             B                    E
Last night as I lay dreaming I dreamed a dream so fair

                             B               E
I dreamed about my darling a rose was in her hair

                             B             E
I dreamed I left this prison started life anew

    A                E        B                    E
She told me that she loved me told me her love was true.
[Chorus]
              A                        E
It was only a dream, just a prisoner's dream

     B                     E
As I lay on my cold prison bed

             A                  E
My dreams of you can never come true

     B                        E
Dear girl, I wish that I were dead.
[Verse 2]
                               B                     E
I dreamed about my darling she kissed me and held me tight

                               B                   E
I dreamed that we were married dreamed of a starry night

                             B                 E
I dreamed about our children playing around my knee

     A                  E     B                         E
They loved me called me daddy they thought the world of me.
[Chorus]
              A                        E
It was only a dream, just a prisoner's dream

     B                     E
As I lay on my cold prison bed

             A                  E
My dreams of you can never come true

     B                        E
Dear girl, I wish that I were dead.
[Outro] E
