VERSE 1
Will ya meet me, will ya meet me tonight, love
Will ya meet me in th moonlight alone
I have a sad story to tell you

I have a grand ship on th ocean
All lined with silver an' gold
Before my darling shall suffer
That ship will be anchored an' sold

Will ya meet me, will ya meet me tonight, love
Will ya meet me in th moonlight alone
I have a sad story to tell you
Must be told by th moonlight alone

VERSE 4
I'll be carried to th new jail tomorrow
To leave my li'l darl'n behind
With th cold prison bars all around me
And my head on a pillow of stone

VERSE 5
Will ya meet me, will ya meet me tonight, love
Will ya meet me in th moonlight alone
I have a sad story to tell you
Must be told by th moonlight alone
