Prisoners Song

Prisoners Song 
by Sonny James
 
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 
 
                                  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 
 
                                C
I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow 
  D7                        G
Leaving my poor darling all alone 
                               C
With the cold prison bars all around me 
    D7                     G
And my head on a pillow of stone 
 
repeat #1
