THE PRISONER'S SONG



Oh! I wish I had some one to love me—
Some one to call me their own;
Oh! I wish I had some one to live with—
'Cause I'm tired of living 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.


48:29

"I guess I better go."


48:40

"I've changed my mind—I want the bread."


48:54

"No—I don't think you do."


49:04

"Come, my boy—I was only foolin'."


49:15

"I know what it is—you're ashamed ot my baking."


49:25

"You talk to him, Sheriff."


49:39

"After all, the old bum is your father."


50:43

"That must of happened when the dough fell in the tool chest."


51:26

"Don't let him do that to you, Willie, bust him on the jaw."


51:36

"What—this shrimp hit me?"


51:46

"If he'd ever hit you on your jaw he'd break it."


52:08

"No, I might hurt you."


54:49

"Take him down to the receiving hospital."
