Silver Dagger lyrics

Don`t sing love songs, you`ll wake my mother
She`s sleeping here, right by my side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
Say`s that I can`t be your bride
All men are false, says my mother
They`ll tell you wicked, loathsome lies
The very next evening, they`ll court another
And leave you all alone to pine and cry
My daddy is a handsome devil
He wears a chain, five miles long
And on each link, a heart does dangle
For another maid, he`s loved and wronged
Go court another tender young maiden
I`m sure that she can be your bride
For I have been warned and I`ve decided
To sleep alone for the rest of my life
Don`t sing love songs, you`ll wake my mother
She`s sleeping here, right by my side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
