Silver Dagger Lyrics
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.
All men are fools, so says my mother,
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.
And then they'll go and court some other,
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.
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.
Oooh
Go court another tender maiden
in hope that she might be your wife,
For I've been warned, so I've decided
I'll sleep alone all of my life.
Oooh x 3
Beware, beware
The silver dagger.
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.
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.
And then they'll go and court some other,
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.
He's got a chain five miles long,
On every link a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wronged.
in hope that she might be your wife,
For I've been warned, so I've decided
I'll sleep alone all of my life.
Beware, beware
The silver dagger.
