I Wish I Had Someone to Love Me (Prisoners Song 1924) Guy Massey / Vernon Dalhart (performed by The Dubliners, Johnny McEvoy) ,Hank Snow words used here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_Greatest_Hits_(The_Dubliners_album) A D A D A E A D A D E A
    A                       D    A
Oh, I wish I had someone to love me

                              E
Yes, someone to call me their own

      A                     D    A
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with

          D        E           A
Cause I'm tired of living all alone

       A                      D   A
Please meet me tonight in the moonlight

                            E
Please meet me tonight all alone

    A                     D    A
For I have a sad story to tell you

       D            E          A
It's a story that's never been told

        A                         D  A
I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow

                             E
Leaving my poor ol' darling alone

         A                     D     A
With the cold prison bars all around me

       D         E         A
And my head on a pillow of stone

       A                            D  A
Now, I have a grand ship out on the ocean

                            E
All mounted with silver and gold

      A                          D  A
And before my poor darling would suffer

     D             E            A
That ship would be anchored and sold

     A                        D  A
Now, if I had the wings of an angel

                                E
Over these prison walls I would fly

        A                          D  A
And I'd fly to the arms of my poor darling

    D            E          A
And there I'd be willing to die

    A                       D    A
Oh, I wish I had someone to love me

                              E
Yes, someone to call me their own

      A                     D    A
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with

          D        E           A
Cause I'm tired of living all alone
