Don't sing your love songs You'll wake my mother She sleeps in here Right by my side And in her right hand A silver dagger She says that I Can't be your bride. My daddy is A handsome devil He's got a chain Five miles long And on each link A heart does dangle From every girl He's loved and wronged. Go court another Fabourdi maiden And hope that she She will be your bride For I've been made Myself a promise To live alone For the rest my life.
