All men are false Sais my mother They'll tell You wicked Loathsome lies The very next Evening They'll Court another Leave you alone to Pine and cry Don't sing Love songs You'll wake My mother She's sleeping here Right by my side In her right hand A silver dagger She sais: You will not Be his bride My daddy is a Handsome devil He wares a chain Five miles long And in each link A heart Does dangle For another maid He's loved And wronged Don't sing
Love songs You'll wake My mother She's sleeping here Right by my side In her right hand A silver dagger She sais: You will not Be his bride Go, court Another young Tender maiden I'm sure She can be Your bride I've been warned And I have decided To sleep alone For the rest od My life Don't sing Love songs You'll wake My mother She's sleeping here Right by my side In her right hand A silver dagger She sais: You will not Be his bride
