Carter Family, The - Meet Me By The Moonlight, Alone Lyrics
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 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
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

I discover for the first time this Beautiful voice .... totally in love with " Carter Family" , from Algeria
Absolutely beautiful! This real America’s great treasure.
A beautiful country song long neglected. Song and played with true harmony.
Interesting thread, particularly the confusion between religion and morals.
Sława IM.
I am reading the biography of the Carter family (will you miss me when I am gone) and they sound like wonderful people... fun too!
Wonderful book (will you miss me when I’m gone). I could hardly put it down! And being able to go to YT for the songs as I read it was fascinating.
Jesus said 'visit the prisoners' so best not to argue with him..;)
um you just answered your own question .
