Silver Dagger

歌詞

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
