Silver Dagger歌詞

作詞 : Traditional
作曲 : Traditional
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," said my mother
"They’ll tell you wicked, loving lies
And the very next evening, they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh"
My daddy, he's 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
So 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
