Lyrics
0:07Don't sing love songs you'll wake my mother
0:16She's sleeping here right by my side
0:24And in her right hand a silver dagger
0:33She says that I can't be your bride
0:46All men are false said my mother
0:55They'll tell you wicked loving lies
1:03And the very next evening they'll court another
1:12Leave you alone to pine and sigh
1:24My daddy he's a handsome devil
1:33He's got a chain five miles long
1:42And on every link a heart does dangle
1:51Of another maid he's loved and wronged
2:03So court another tender maiden
2:12And hope that she will be your wife
2:21For I have been warned and I've decided
2:36To sleep alone all of my life
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
