Silver Dagger (Live)

Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother She's sleeping here right by my side And in her right hand is a silver dagger She says that I can't be your bride "All men are false", says my mother They'll tell you wicked, lovin' live And very next evening they'll court another Leave you alone to pine inside My daddy is a handsome devil He's got a chain five miles long And on every link, a heart does dangle Of another maid he's loved and wronged Go court another tender 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
