Stay away from my daughter
Is what your old man said to me
If her heart ever breaks
Oh a dead man you will be
Sir I promise on my own grave
No ill intentions do I mean
But if any harm falls upon her
I'll throw myself into the sea.
He said don't close your eyes
Don't let your time together pass you by
There's a string around her heart that's tied
To the trigger of my shotgun
Everybody has their problems
Be them in flesh or in the mind
We share our pains against the bar
No cheaper therapy I'll find
Call me a devil or a heathen
I'll keep my beliefs to mine
I guess I found my faith through reason
I'll leave that old old world behind
He said don't turn your back
Everyone's been down a broken track
Show me that you're a man and that's it's a fact
That you won't throw it all away
Sir I promise on my own grave
No ill intentions do I mean
But if any harm falls upon her
I'll throw myself into the sea
