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
Must be told by th moonlight alone
VERSE 2
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
VERSE 3
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
