[verse 1]
the judge said, “stand up lad and dry up your tears”
“you’re sentenced to dartmoor for twenty one years”
so dry up your tears, babe, and kiss me goodbye
the best friends must part, babe, so must you and i

[verse 2]
i hear the train coming, ’twill be here at nine
to take me to dartmoor to serve up my time
i look down the railway and plainly i see
you’re standing there waving your goodbye to me

[verse 3]
six months have gone by, babe, i wish i were there
this cold, dreary dungeon and stone for my bed
’tis raining, ’tis hailing, the moon gives no light
now will you tell me, babe, why you never write?

[verse 4]
i’ve counted the days, babe, i’ve counted the nights
i’ve counted the footsteps, i’ve counted the lights
i’ve counted the raindrops, i’ve counted the stars
i’ve counted a million of this prison bars

[verse 5]
i waited, i trusted, i longed for the day
a lifetime so lonely, my hair’s turning grey
my thoughts are for you, babe, ’til i’m out of my mind
for twenty long years, babe, is a mighty long time
