The Prisoner's Dream
Last night as I lay sleeping, I dreamed a dream so fair
I dreamed about my darling, a rose was in her hair
I dreamed I left this prison started life anew
She told me that she loved me, told me her love was true
It was only a dream (it was only a dream)
Just a prisoner's dream (just a prisoner's dream)
As I lay on my cold prison bed (cold, cold bed)
My dreams of you (my dreams of you)
Can never come true (can never come true)
Dear girl, I wish that I was dead
I dreamed she called me darling, kissed me and held me tight
I dreamed that we were married, dreamed of a starry night
I dreamed about our children playing around my knee
They loved me, called me Daddy, they thought the world of me
It was only a dream (it was only a dream)
Just a prisoner's dream (just a prisoner's dream)
As I lay on my cold prison bed (cold, cold bed)
My dreams of you (my dreams of you)
Can never come true (can never come true)
Dear girl, I wish that I was dead
I dreamed a dream so lovely, heaven on earth it seemed
My wife and little children came to me in my dreams
They threw their arms around me, I was their pride and joy
My little wife she loved me, I was her darling boy
It was only a dream (it was only a dream)
Just a prisoner's dream (just a prisoner's dream)
As I lay on my cold prison bed (cold, cold bed)
My dreams of you (my dreams of you)
Can never come true (can never come true)
Dear girl, I wish that I was dead
Dear girl, I wish that I was dead
I dreamed about my darling, a rose was in her hair
I dreamed I left this prison started life anew
She told me that she loved me, told me her love was true
It was only a dream (it was only a dream)
Just a prisoner's dream (just a prisoner's dream)
As I lay on my cold prison bed (cold, cold bed)
My dreams of you (my dreams of you)
Can never come true (can never come true)
Dear girl, I wish that I was dead
I dreamed she called me darling, kissed me and held me tight
I dreamed that we were married, dreamed of a starry night
I dreamed about our children playing around my knee
They loved me, called me Daddy, they thought the world of me
It was only a dream (it was only a dream)
Just a prisoner's dream (just a prisoner's dream)
As I lay on my cold prison bed (cold, cold bed)
My dreams of you (my dreams of you)
Can never come true (can never come true)
Dear girl, I wish that I was dead
I dreamed a dream so lovely, heaven on earth it seemed
My wife and little children came to me in my dreams
They threw their arms around me, I was their pride and joy
My little wife she loved me, I was her darling boy
It was only a dream (it was only a dream)
Just a prisoner's dream (just a prisoner's dream)
As I lay on my cold prison bed (cold, cold bed)
My dreams of you (my dreams of you)
Can never come true (can never come true)
Dear girl, I wish that I was dead
Dear girl, I wish that I was dead
