1. Oh, I wish I had someone to love me,
Someone to call me their own.
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with,
'Cause I'm tired of living alone.
2. Oh, meet me tonight in the moonlight,
Please meet me tonight all alone.
For I have a sad story to tell you,
It's a story that's never been told.
3. I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow,
Leaving my poor darling alone.
With the cold prison bars all around me,
And my head on a pillow of stone.
4. Now I have a grand ship on the ocean,
All mounted with silver and gold.
And before my poor darling would suffer,
Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold.
5. Now, if I had the wings of an angel,
Over these prison walls I would fly.
And I'd fly to the arms of my darling,
And there I'd be willing to die.
William Smith Monroe, noto come Bill Monroe (1911-1996), è considerato il padre del bluegrass. Nato in Kentucky, Monroe ha iniziato a suonare la musica country fin da giovane, influenzato dal canto di suo padre e dalla tradizione musicale della regione. Nel 1938 ha formato il suo primo gruppo, i "Blue Grass Boys", che ha portato al successo con brani come "Mule Skinner Blues" e "Kentucky Waltz". Il sound innovativo di Monroe, caratterizzato da un ritmo veloce, armonie intricate e virtuosismi strumentali, ha rivoluzionato la musica country, dando vita a un genere musicale completamente nuovo: il bluegrass. La sua influenza è stata profonda e duratura, ispirando generazioni di musicisti country e folk. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "The Essential Bill Monroe" e "Blue Grass Special".
