Prisoner's dream
Last night as I lay sleeping, I dremed a dream so fair I dreamed about my darling, the rose was in her hair I dreamed I left this prison, started in life anew She told me that she loved me, told me her love was beer It was only a dream just a prisoner's dream As I lay on my cold prison bed My dreams of you can never come true Dear girl, I wish that I were 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 * Refrain I dreamed a dream so lovely, heaven on earth it seemed My wife and little children came to me in that dream They threw their arms around me, I was their pride and joy My little wife she loved me, I was her darling boy * Refrain
