lyrics

So don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother,
She's lying here, right by my side,
And in her right hand, a silver dagger,
She says that I can't be your bride.

All men are false, so says my mother,
They'll tell you evil wicked lies,
And then the next day, they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.

My daddy is a handsome devil,
he's got a chain that's five miles long,
On every link a heart does dangle,
Of another maiden he's loved and wronged.

So go and court another 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.

So don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother,
She's lying here, right by my side,
And in her right hand, a silver dagger,
She says that I can't be your bride.
