                D                     G
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother

               D            Em7 Em
She's sleeping here right by my side

                 C             Am
And in her right hand a silver dagger,

              Em      C       D
She says that I can't be your bride.

            D              G
All men are false, says my mother,

                 D       Em7    Em
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.

              C                      Am
The very next evening, they'll court another,

          Em       C        D
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.

         D     Em7     G
My daddy is a handsome devil

           D          Em7  Em
He's got a chain five miles long,

             C                 Am
And on every link a heart does dangle

           Em        C        D
Of another maid he's loved and wronged.

         D       Em7    G
Go court another tender maiden,

              D           Em7  Em
And hope that she will be your wife,

              C                Am
For I've been warned, and I've decided

         Em    C         D
To sleep alone all of my life.

                D                     G
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother

               D            Em7 Em
She's sleeping here right by my side

                 C             Am
And in her right hand a silver dagger,

              Em      C       D    
She says that I can't be your bride.
[Outro] D Em7 G
