[Intro]
| A | - | D | A |
[Verse 1]
D A
Don't sing love songs,
D
you'll wake my mother
A Bm
She's sleeping here right by my side
G Em
And in her right hand a silver dagger,
Bm G A
She says that I can't be your bride.
[Verse 2]
G A A7 D
All men are false, says my mother,
A Bm
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.
G
The very next evening,
Em
they'll court another,
Bm G A
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.
[Verse 3]
G A A7 D
My daddy is a handsome devil
A Bm
He's got a chain five miles long,
G Em
And on every link a heart does dangle
Bm G A
Of another maid he's loved and wronged.
[Verse 4]
G A A7 D
Go court another tender maiden,
A Bm
And hope that she will be your wife,
G Em
For I have been warned, and I've decided
Bm G A G A
To sleep alone all of my life.
