Silver Dagger

Katie dear go and ask your mother now if you can be my bride

If she says yes hurry back and tell me and you'll be here my side

Willy dear no I can not ask her now as she is taking rest

And by her side a silver dagger there to slay whom I love best

Oooooo going down like a sinking stone

Oooooo going down like a sinking stone

Katie dear go and ask your father now if you can be my bride

If he says yes hurry back and tell me and you'll be here my side

Willy dear no I can not ask him now as he is taking rest

And by his side that silver dagger there to slay whom I love best

Oooooo going down like a sinking stone (down like a sinking stone)

Oooooo going down like a sinking stone

Then he picked up that silver dagger and he drove it through his heart

Saying goodbye Katie goodbye darling now the time has come to part

Then she picked up that bloody dagger and she drove it through her chest

Saying goodbye love goodbye forever to the one that I love best

Oooooo going down like a sinking stone

Oooooo going down like a sinking stone

Oooooo going down like a sinking stone (down like a sinking stone)

Oooooo going down like a sinking stone
