|
Don't sing love songs |
|
You'll wake my mother |
|
She's sleeping here right by my side |
|
In her right hand is a silver dagger |
|
She says that i can't be your bride |
|
All men are fools |
|
So says my mother |
|
They'll tell you again |
|
Love and lies |
|
And then they'll go |
|
And court someother |
|
Leave you alone to pine inside |
|
My daddy is a handsome devil |
|
He's got a chain five miles long |
|
On every link, a heart does dangle |
|
Of another maid he's loved and wronged, ohhh |
|
Go court another tender maiden |
|
In hopes that she might be your wife |
|
For i've been warned so i decided |
|
I'll sleep alone all of my life, ohh... |
|
Beware, beware, a silver dagger |
