lyrics

Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She sleeps right by my side
In her right hand, a silver dagger
Says I can't be your bride

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

My daddy is a handsome devil,
On a chain five miles long,
on every link a heart does dangle, of one he's loved and wronged

Go court another tender maiden, and hope shell be your bride
For I've been warned and I've decided
to sleep alone all of my life
