Silver Dagger Lyrics by The Men They Could
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my motherShe's sleeping here, right by my sideAnd in her right hand, a silver daggerSay's that I can't be your brideAll men are false, says my motherThey'll tell you wicked, loathsome liesThe very next evening, they'll court anotherAnd leave you all alone to pine and cryMy daddy is a handsome devilHe wears a chain, five miles longAnd on each link, a heart does dangleFor another maid, he's loved and wrongedGo court another tender young maidenI'm sure that she can be your brideFor I have been warned and I've decidedTo sleep alone for the rest of my lifeDon't sing love songs, you'll wake my motherShe's sleeping here, right by my sideAnd in her right hand, a silver dagger
