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 false, so says my mother
They'll tell you wicked loving lies
And then they'll go and court some other
Leave you alone to mourn inside
My father was a handsome devil
He had a chain five miles long
On every link, a heart did dangle
Of another maid he'd loved and wronged
Go court another tender maiden
In hopes that she might be your wife
For I've been warned and I've decided
I'll sleep alone all of my life
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 false, so says my mother
They'll tell you wicked loving lies
And then they'll go and court some other
Leave you alone to mourn inside
My father was a handsome devil
He had a chain five miles long
On every link, a heart did dangle
Of another maid he'd loved and wronged
Go court another tender maiden
In hopes that she might be your wife
For I've been warned and I've decided
I'll sleep alone all of my life
