Don't sing love songsYou'll wake my motherShe's sleeping here right by my sideIn her right hand, a silver daggerShe
says that I can't be your brideAll men are falseSays my motherThey'll tell you wickedLovin' liesAnd then the very next ev
eningThey'll court anotherLeave you alone to pine and sighMy daddy is a handsome devilHe's got a chain five miles longOn
every link, a heart does dangleOf another maid he's loved and wronged, ohhhGo court another tender maidenIn hopes that she
might be your wifeFor I've been warned so I've decidedTo sleep alone all of my life
