Lyrics to "Madonna Mia," written by Al Capone while he was at Alcatraz:
In a quaint Italian garden
While the stars were all aglow
Once I heard a lover singing
To the one that he loved so
In that quaint Italian garden
Neath the starry sky above
Every night he'd serenade her
With his tender song of love
Madonna mia
You're the bloom of the roses
You're the charm that reposes
In the heart of a song
Madonna mia
With your true love to guide me
Let whatever betide me
I will never go wrong
There's only one moon above
One golden sun
There's only one that I love
You are the one
Madonna mia
This I vow here before you
Till the end I'll adore you
Madonna mia
Once again I see that garden
Many years have hurried by
I can see that sweet Madonna
There's a teardrop in her eye
For her soldier has departed
Left his loved one with a sigh
She said "I will wait forever"
As he sang this last goodbye.
Madonna mia ...
