voiceCollected by Raymond W. Whittier For M.C. Parler Transcribed by Linda Humphrey Sung by: Mr. Clyde Bland Little Rock, Ark Nov. 25, 1960 Reel 303 Item 3 The Prisoner's Song Meet me tonight in the moonlight, Please mee 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 if I had wings like an angel, Over these prison wall I would fly, And I'd fly to the arms of my poor darling, And there I'd be willing to die.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
