"I Wish I Had Someone To Love Me" Lyrics

I wish I had someone to love me,
Someone to call me their own,
Someone to stay with me al- ways,
I'm weary of being alone.
Meet me tonight in the moon- light,
Meet me tonight all alone;
I have a sad story to tell you,
I'll tell by the light of the moon.

I wish I had someone to love me,
Someone to call me their own,
Someone to stay with me al- ways,
I'm weary of being alone.

I'll be sent to the new jail tomor- row,
Leavin' my darlin' alone,
With the cold iron bars all around me,
And my head on a pillow of stone.

I wish I had someone to love me,
Someone to call me their own,
Someone to stay with me al- ways,
I'm weary of being alone.

Tonight is our last night toget- her,
The nearest and dearest must part,
For all that has bound us toget- her,
Is quickly being torn apart.

I wish I had someone to love me,
Someone to call me their own,

Someone to stay with me al- ways,
I'm weary of being alone.

I have a large ship on the o- cean,
All laden with silver and gold,
And before my poor darlin' will suf- fer,
That ship will be anchored and sold.

I wish I had someone to love me,
Someone to call me their own,
Someone to stay with me al- ways,
I'm weary of being alone.

I wish I had wings of a spar- row,
For those prison walls I must flee;
I'd fly to the arms of my true love,
And bring her home safety to me.

I wish I had someone to love me,
Someone to call me their own,
Someone to stay with me al- ways,
I'm weary of being alone.

I'm weary of being alone.
