I wants to know what your doin tonight
Wish I could see if everything was alright
Hold you long in my arms
 until its light
Your smilin face would make a wonderful sight
I wants to be with ya, love with ya, eat with ya, sleep with ya, stay with me all of my life

I loved ya darlin when you was only sixteen
Was the sweetest thing to enter my dream
When were together then my life is fulfilled
I love you darlin I know I always will
I wants to be with ya, love with ya, eat with ya, sleep with ya, stay with me all of my life

I close my letter but never my love
Take it there to ya heaven above
Get me back to you safe and sound
The day that I leave the prisoners ground
I wants to be with ya, love with ya, stay with ya, sleep with ya all of my life
