This is the version the Dubliners did live with Emelda May
on her christmas special. Different lyrics than the old standard,
and don't forget to put a CAPO on the 5th FRET to play along.
You can find it on YT
Super simple song, but a great sing-a-long at the lock in

I WISH I HAD SOMEONE TO LOVE ME
CAPO 5th FRET FOR TRACK
A D A A E
I wish I had someone to love me, Someone to call me their own
A D A D E A
Someone to sleep with me nightly, I'm weary of sleeping alone
A D A A E
Meet me tonight in the moonlight, Meet me tonight all alone
A D A D E A
I have a sad story to tell you, I'm telling it under the moon
A D A A E
I wish I had someone to love me, Someone to call me their own
A D A D E A
Someone to sleep with me nightly, I'm weary of sleeping alone
A D A A E
Though it's our last night together, Nearest and dearest to part
A D A D E A
The love that has held us together, Is shredded and torn on the path
A D A A E
I wish I had someone to love me, Someone to call me their own
A D A D E A
Someone to sleep with me nightly, I'm weary of sleeping alone
A D A A E
I wish I had ships on the ocean, I'd lace them with silver and gold
A D A D E A
And sail to the banks of my true love, A lass of just nineteen years old
A D A A E
I wish I had someone to love me, Someone to call me their own
A D A D E A
Someone to sleep with me nightly, I'm weary of sleeping alone
A D A A E
I wish I had wings of a swallow, Flying out over the sea
A D A D E A
I'd fly to the arms of my true love, And bring her home safely to me
A D A A E
I wish I had someone to love me, Someone to call me their own
A D A D E A
Someone to sleep with me nightly, I'm weary of sleeping alone
D E A
I'm weary of sleeping alone
