Prisoner's Dream 
Last night as I lay sleeping, I dreamed a dream so fair; I dreamed about my darling, a 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 true. 
cho: 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. 
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 said she loved me, I was her darling boy.
