Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Instrumental]
All men are fools, so says my mother
They'll tell you again love and lies
And then they'll go and court some other
Leave you alone to pine inside
[Instrumental]
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
[Instrumental]
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
[Instrumental]
Beware, beware, a silver dagger
