Silver Dagger
Come all you fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you court your men
They're like a star on summer morning
First they first appear and then gone again
Don't sing love songs you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
And in her hand a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
"All men are false," says my mother
"They'll tell you pretty loving lies
The very next evening they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh."
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
Go court another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I've been warned, and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life
Take warning how you court your men
They're like a star on summer morning
First they first appear and then gone again
Don't sing love songs you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
And in her hand a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
"All men are false," says my mother
"They'll tell you pretty loving lies
The very next evening they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh."
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
Go court another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I've been warned, and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life
