Version 1
            [Verse 1]
C                   C7    F              C
Oh, come hear my story of heartaches and sighs.
                                                  G7
I’m a prisoner who’s lonely for his moonlight and skies.
C                         F
I have a sweetheart who’s waiting for me
                C         G7           C
Back in old Oklahoma, not far from Shawnee.
                  F                          C
Her lips like the cherries. Her little heart cries,
                    G7                         C
“Daddy, please come back to your moonlight and skies.”
                  F                       C
My pal’s name was Blacky, a lad with true heart.
             G7                     C
A robb’ry we planned, so decided to start.
             F                         C
I went to my darling with tears in her eyes.
                        G7                           C
She said, “Daddy, don’t leave me, your moonlight and skies.”
                 F                              C
I laughed at her pleading, youth must have it’s way,
                   G7                  C
And said, ”I’ll be back in a couple of days.”

[Verse 2]
C                  C7            F                C
The next scene was fatal, with a shot through his heart,
                                         G7
For Blacky died sending love to his sweetheart.
    C                      F
“Go tell her, go tell her, I send her my love.
                 C               G7      C
I’ll meet her in heaven with the angels above.”
                 F                      C
That night I was captured out under the stars.
                   G7                       C
Now I have life to linger behind these iron bars.
                     F                        C
You’ll find me at my window as the day slowly dies.
                   G7                           C
I’m dreaming of my darling and my moonlight and skies.
               F                      C
A pale moon is shining, is shining so bright,
               G7                       C
And lovers are strolling by my window tonight.
                  F                           C
Their laughter so merry brings heartaches and sighs
                    G7                           C
To a pris’ner who’s lonely for the moonlight and skies.
