[Ab]
I'm going [Db] to the new jail [Ab] tomorrow, [Eb] to leave the one that [Ab] I love,
to [Db] leave my friends [Ab] and relations, [Eb] and oh how lonely [Ab] my love.
Meet me [Db] by the moonlight, [Ab] love, meet me, [Eb] meet me by the moonlight [Ab]
alone,
for I have a sad story to tell you, to [Eb] be told by the moonlight [Ab] alone.

My parents, [Db] how cruel [Ab] they treat me, [Eb] they drive me away from [Ab] their door.
If I live [Db] a hundred [Ab] years longer, [Eb] I'll never go back [Ab]
anymore.
If I [Db] had a ship [Ab] on the ocean, [Eb]
all lane and line [Ab] with pure gold,
before [Db] my darling [Ab]
should suffer, [Eb] I'd have that ship [Ab] anchored and sold.
Meet me by the [Db] moonlight, [Ab]
love, meet me, [Eb] meet me by the moonlight [Ab] alone,

If I had [Db] someone [Ab] to love me, [Eb]
someone to call me [Ab] their own,

alone.
If I had [Db] the wings of [Ab] an angel, [Eb] or land and sea, [Ab] I'd fly,
I'd fly [Db] to the arms of [Ab] my darling, [Eb] and I'd be willing [Ab] to die.
Meet me by the [Db] moonlight, [Ab] love, meet me, [Eb] meet me by the moonlight [Ab]
alone,
for I have a sad story to tell you, [Eb] to be told by the moonlight [Ab]
alone.
