Oh come here my story of heartaches and sighes
I'm a prisoner who's lonely from moonlight and skies
I have a sweetheart who's waiting for me
Back in old Oklahoma I'm now far from Jenny
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 roberry 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 you must have it's way
And said I'll be back in a couple of day
[ ac.guitar ]
The next scene was fatal with a shot through his heart
Old Blacky thus send the love to his sweetheart
Go tell her go tell her I send my love
I'll meet her in heaven with the angels above
That night I was captured under the stars
Now I have laughed to linger behind these arm bars
You'll find me at my window as the day slowly die
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 heart extended sighes
To a prisoner who's lovely for my moonlight and skies
