Moonlight And Skies

歌詞

Oh, come hear my story of heartaches and sighs I'm a prisoner who's lonely for his moonlight and skies I have a sweetheart who's waiting for me Back in old Oklahoma I'm not far from Shawnee Her lips like the cherries her little heart cries Daddy please come back to your moonlight and skies My pal's name was Blacky a lad with true heart A robbery we'd planned so decided to start I went to my darling with tears in her eyes She said daddy don't leave me your moonlight and skies I laughed at her pleading youth must have it's way And said I'll be back in a couple of days The next scene was fatal with a shot through his heart Old Blacky died sending love to his sweetheart Go tell her go tell her I send her my love I'll meet her in heaven with the angels above That night I was captured out under the stars Now I have life to linger behind these iron bars You'll find me at my window as the day slowly dies I'm dreaming of my darling and my moonlight and skies Oh, pale moon is shining it's shining so bright And lovers are strolling by my window tonight Their laughter so merry brings heartaches and sighs To a prisoner who's lonely for my moonlight and skies...
