I WISH I HAD SOMEONE TO LOVE ME   First verse & Chorus:   I wish I had someone to love me,   Someone to call me his own,   Someone to sleep with me nightly,   I weary of sleeping alone.   Meet me tonight in the moonlight,   Meet me tonight all alone,   I have a sad story to tell you   I'm telling it under the moon.   Tonight is our last night together,   Nearest and dearest must part,   The love that has bound us together   Is shredded and torn apart.   I wish I had ships on the ocean   Lined with silver and gold   Follow the ship that he sails in   A lad of 19 years-old.   I wish I had wings of a swallow,   Fly out over the sea   Fly to the arms of my true love   And bring him home safely to me.   Apparently before this song went through the folk process, it was   one of Vernon Dahlhart's country hits of the late 30's. It went   under the title of "The Prisoner's Song" and a snatch of it   is used at the end of the Bogart movie, Deadend. Sally Rogers   learned this version from Lisa Null, who heard Irish singer   Joe Heaney perform it.   I learned it summer 1982.  filename[ SMONELVE  DC  ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
