Letra de Silver Dagger

[intro]
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
And in her right hand a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride

[verse]
All men are false, says my mother
They'll tell you wicked, loving' lies
The very next evening they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh

[verse]
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

[verse]
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
