Meet Me By The Moonlight, Alone

(アルバム： The Carter Family Volume 2 - 1935-1941 - 2003)

I'm going to the new jail tomorrow
To leave the one that I love
To leave my friends and relations
And, oh, how lonely, my love

Meet me by the moonlight, love, meet me
Meet me by the moonlight alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
To be told by the moonlight alone

My parents, how cruel they treat me
They drive me away from their door
If I live a hundred years longer
I'll never go back any more

Meet me by the moonlight, love, meet me
Meet me by the moonlight alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
To be told by the moonlight alone

If I had a ship on the ocean
All laden and lined with pure gold
Before my darling should suffer
I'd have that ship anchored and sold

Meet me by the moonlight, love, meet me
Meet me by the moonlight alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
To be told by the moonlight alone

If I had the wings of an angel
O'er land and sea I'd fly
I'd fly to the arms of my darling
And I'd be willing to die

Meet me by the moonlight, love, meet me
Meet me by the moonlight alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
To be told by the moonlight alone
