=**Silver Dagger**=


 * 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.**


 * All men are false, says my mother,**
 * They’ll tell you wicked, lovin’ lies.**
 * The very next evening, they’ll court another.**
 * Leave you alone, to pine and sigh.**


 * 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 have been warned, and I’ve decided**
 * To sleep alone all of my life.**
