Silver Dagger

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
